K-Meleon Web Browser Forum
I have tried and tried and K-Meleon is STILL the deafult browser and I DO NOT want it to be the default browser. Following the dricetions for changing it to be not the default DOES NOT WORK.
Uninsstalling and reinstalling, same issue - Also, K-Meleon DOES become the default browser from re-install NO MATTER WHAT YOU TELL IT TO DO. (This is true on 5 other machines, where - once changed as per directions - is, thankfully, not the default forced browser as on this machine. All 6 machines are on the same image all parts of machines are identical, all downloads of K to each machine were days apart, but all versions of K are identical)

I am not an expert on this default setting, but I always thought that if you wanted something else to be the default, that you would set that browser to be the default. I have not seen instruction on how KM would make something else the default.
@JamesD,
In the registry old choice are preserved when installing K-Meleon. It's not an error to think that, when uninstalling K-Meleon, the old values would be restored, but I'm not sure the setup can do it.
If it's not the case (I'm thinking the other browers don't make better), you're right to say that the choosen browser must have the way to do it (by choosing an option to make it by default).

Have you tried to invert default browser with this?

And with the setdefault.exe file included in K-Meleon folder?

@desga2,
It's just to unset K-Meleon as default, that clcradiogm wants :-)
