How-To Geek

I was experincing problens launching URLs from a particular program's interface & I was informed that my registry setting for my default browser, IE9, was incorrect.

I was instructed to go to "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\HTTP\shell\open\command" in the Windows registry using 'regedit' & that the correct Microsoft registry entry here for users using IE 32-bit on Windows 64-bit should be "C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" -nohome".

My enigma is that I don't have the entry '-nohome' in my registry setting. However, I experience very few browser problems with the exception of the aforementioned program.

So, I have 2 questions:
1. Do I need to add the suggested entry, and
2. Is there a source out there that provides the correct registry settings/entries for all of the variant versions of IE & Windows?

Thanks.

Thanks much for the informative response. The individual that suggested that I had to insert that setting was incorrect then as my issue in accessing URLs from within the tool had absolutely nothing to do with home pages at all.

Do you happen to know if MS or anyone else has a listing of IE registry parameters?
