Link in document pointing to wrong browser executable.
I'm using a portable version of Cyberfox browser. In the Cyberfox Portable folder there is a file named "CyberfoxPortable.exe" which is used to launch the program. In a sub-folder there is another file named "Cyberfox.exe" which is not used to launch program. The problem is whenever I click on a link in a document, for instance, a Word document, the link seems to be pointing to the "Cyberfox.exe" file to launch the browser, when it should be pointing to "CyberfoxPortable.exe". Also, if I'm using a program that has an online help, I get the same results, when clicking on the help file, the "Cyberfox.exe" launches instead of the "CyberfoxPortable.exe".
I looked in the registry and found this;
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http]
@="URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol"
"AppUserModelID"="Microsoft.InternetExplorer.Default"
"EditFlags"=dword:00000002

"DelegateExecute"="{17FE9752-0B5A-4665-84CD-569794602F5C}"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\ddeexec]
@=""
I tried changing the default value of HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\command, key
from
"C:\Users\BHM_HYBRID\Documents\PortableApps\CyberfoxPortable\App\Cyberfox\Cyberfox.exe" -osint -url "%1"
to this,
"C:\Users\BHM_HYBRID\Documents\PortableApps\CyberfoxPortable\CyberfoxPortable.exe" -osint -url "%1"
That didn't work, so I changed it back. I'm open to any suggestions or ideas to correct this issue.
