Cannot stop VS2005 using Mozilla

Hi,

November CTP of VS2005 Standard Beta 2.  ASP Web Project.  Completely new
website.

I normally use Mozilla, and so VS starts a ASP.NET app using that.  Perfect.
However because the ASP Website Configuration tool doesn't quite work using
Mozilla, I decide to use Internet Explorer to configure the site security.

Problem:  VS refuses to run anything other than Mozilla  and I cannot work
out how to change this.  

I've tried:

- Changing 'Windows Set Progress Access and Defaults'
- Uninstalling Mozilla (I now just get an error)
- Purging all references to Mozilla from the registry
- Searching for text in all the .NET, Project, Solution file, VS2005
files/directorys that might reference Mozilla
- Checking through all menu options I can find

To no avail.  I'm stumped.  Of course now, on clicking Run, it starts the
web server and then errors 'Cannot start program
c:\program~1\Mozilla.org\Mozilla\Mozilla.exe'

Any chance of the obvious tip on how to get it to start a site using IE
instead?

Thanks,

Dave

Open the Web site, right-click on project node and choose Browse With...
There you should be able to set IE as default browser. During setup default
browser is set to default OS browser which in your case was FireFox.

A big thanks to you Mikhail.

I knew it would be obvious when I was told how.

I do think that it would be good for the 'Website/Startup Options' to have a
link to that option too.

Thanks!
