Hello,
I've changed my PC and I cannot find a setup option on VS 2005. On my last
PC, when I started a debug of an asp application, VS started default browser
(mozilla), and didn't stop it when debug ended. On the new PC, VS start
always Internet Explorer (on the new pc mozilla is default browser), and
stops it when debug ends. Where is the option to start default browser (and
not IE), and to leave it open after I stop debug? I cannot recreate user
session every time a stop and restart a debug!

thanks

Hi Trapulo,

I suggest you can right click one of your project's web file in the
solution explorer, in its context menu select Browse With... to invoke the
Browse With dialog window. Then you can select your favorite browser in
that dialog and set it as default browser in Visual Studio 2005.

If you use a non-IE browser when debugging your web site, the browser would
not be closed after you stopping the debugging, this is a by design
behavior in VS2005 IDE, there is no corresponding options to change it.

Thanks!

Best regards,

Thank you, this solve my problem! :)

P.S. I think that it's a lot more easy debug without close and reopen the
browser.. why VS has not an option to have this goal using IE as browser?

Thanks for the response, Trapulo!

I am glad that my suggestion helps.

It seems the product team guys have their own conventions, but I will
forward your concern to them for review.

Have a nice day!
