Possible to remove Opera and make IE the default browser?
Call me crazy but I like PIE over any other browser. I'd like to completely remove the Opera browser or at least make PIE the default browser. Also, it would be cool if the tab for the internet could be made to point to PIE.

Opera is in rom you cant remove it. its also embedded into a tf3d tab.

you could probably change default browser in the reg tho.

id suggest you try opera again tho. you'll realize that IE is a waste of space

Re: Possible to remove Opera and make IE the default browser?
I'll give you 2 good reasons to use IE rather than Opera.
1. Bank of America does not support mobile banking on Opera. I do a lot of mobile banking.
2. Opera can't seem to load Google Maps. I get lost a lot.

While I can't remember at the moment, it is matter of simple registry changes to make PIE the default browser. Perhaps search for "registry", "default", and "browser". Opera is good at certain pages, PIE does have its advantages.

One thing I haven't been able to find is how to import/export/backup Opera bookmarks. With PIE, they are just bunch of URLs that can be extracted.

I will look for those registry entries when I have time. If you find them first, please post here.

Thanks.

Try this, it should make PIE as the default browser:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:DEFBROWSER\

Value 0="Pocket IE"
Value 1="\Windows\iexplore.exe"

Re: Possible to remove Opera and make IE the default browser?
I'm sorry this isn't helpful, but I just want to say I am in holy-sh*t surprised mode right now, because I've never met anyone who likes PIE over ANY other browser in WM. lol

Amazing.
