This forum is meant to discuss OmniTrader. Post your Internet Explorer related queries to any of the forums dealing with Windows or on Microsoft forums.

Download Google Chrome and/or Mozilla Firefox (easy internet search for the downloads). When you run the downloaded file(s), they automatically ask if you want to make that browser the default browser. You should end up with each browser available as a choice in the Start box, but one will be the default that you choose.

Thanks for your response @Vinay, just to be clear I AM talking about OmniTrader 2017. I apologise if I didn't make it obvious in my request for technical support in the OmniTrader 2017 Technical Support forum. An assumption too far on my behalf.

So I'll rephrase my question:

How do I change the default web browser that OmniTrader 2017 uses?

For example, when I click on a link in OmniTrader 2017 help, OmniView, etc. it opens the link in Internet Explorer which as already stated is a crock. I'd like to use Opera, Chromium or at the very least Chrome to open web pages or html links.

Just confirming the obvious that Internet Explorer is NOT my default web browser anywhere that I have control, including the operating system.

Thanks once again for taking the time to respond.

Cheers
Aztrix

While I agree with you about IE, unfortunately it is not currently possible as OmniView requires links to go to IE. You could right-click a link in OmniView & copy shortcut, then paste it into another browser.

Thanks Barry, I was afraid that would be the case :(
