Need help switching browsers using FARR
« on: September 22, 2009, 10:50 AM »
I can switch default browsers by right clicking system tray icons just fine.

I want to do the same by using FARR. So I set up the following aliases

Browser Tray Switch - Firefox | C:\Program Files\BrowserTraySwitch\BrowserTraySwitch.exe -switch C:\Program Files\BrowserTraySwitch\BrowserFiles\Firefox.btsregfile
Browser Tray Switch - Maxthon | C:\Program Files\BrowserTraySwitch\BrowserTraySwitch.exe -switch C:\Program Files\BrowserTraySwitch\BrowserFiles\Maxthon.btsregfile

Nothing happens when I use the above. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

ok i'll look into it -- it should work.
you might try running those commands from the commandline to determine if the fault is with FARR or with browsertrayswitch.
