Hope this isn't OT, but where in the registry to I find the value that
enables the popup window to set IE as the default browser if another browser
has been installed?
I think it's HLCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Internet
Settings, the Default string. Is this right? If so, what would the value be
set to?

Doesn't the setup feature work in right click icon > Properties > Programs

or isn't that working for you?
