BrowserTraySwitch Download [Latest]
BrowserTraySwitch changes the default browser on a Windows system.
It also changes the browser used to launch urls from a file browser or an application that doesn't launch any browser but itself.
And - if you can find a good use for it - BrowserTraySwitch can even be configured to use open tabs from a browser that is not the default browser.

BrowserTraySwitch Features
BrowserTraySwitch can also launch certain applications. It can launch the file explorer and the desktop.
It can also launch the default browser. It can also launch "Browser". A new version of "Browser" that allows you to run urls from programs, not just from the "open with" dialog.
BrowserTraySwitch can also launch any program that executes files. It doesn't have to be an "open with" program; any program that has the ability to execute files can launch webpages.
And "BrowserTraySwitch" can also run programs that don't execute urls, but which may have some sort of "open url in current browser" feature, without having any dependence on urls.
browserTraySwitch Features
BrowserTraySwitch can also launch your "normal" browser from the login screen. With this option you can use a browser like Opera instead of your normal browser like Firefox or Internet Explorer.
But you have to keep in mind that you lose the integration of your tool and programs with your normal browser - especially with Firefox.
BrowserTraySwitch allows you to run a browser instead of a normal browser, or to run any program you want instead of your normal browser.
