Bugs :
K-Meleon Web Browser Forum
I have K-Meleon 1.5.2 on Windows Vista Home Premium. SetDefault does not set file types or protocals to open with K-Meleon. The defaults remain the previous defaults. The Internet Icon in the Start Menu is K-Meleon and if I click it, K-Meleon is launched. But, if I click a link in an email or click on an icon to an HTML page, the previous default browser is launched. Setting the default to K-Meleon worked well in the 1.1.x versions of K-Meleon.
it's a known issue because vista changed how programs associate in the registry:
please download and merge this regkey:
http://users.sosdg.org/~bruns/km/km-vista.reg
this key assumes default install location for k-meleon:
c:\program files\k-meleon\k-meleon.exe
if your installation path differs from above, then open the above key in notepad and change all km paths to your own paths

I downloaded and merged the regkey and with that I was able to make K-Meleon the default browser for web pages and links. Thank you for the suggestion.
I have made new tests with a standard user under Vista Professional SP1.
All the registring things seems to be correctly made by setdefault.
I create a user without admin rights (Basique)
I launch K-Meleon 1.52 setup
Windows ask for me the password of a user having admin rights (Alain), it's normal
I install without error message
I put an html file on the desktop and double-click on it.
It's K-Meleon which opens as I want.
I haven't tried with other file types, but I beg it will be ok
I create a shortcut of K-Meleon website on the desktop, and double-click on it.
It's K-Meleon which opens as I want.
Can this be due to the Vista version. I haven't Home premium, and can't test it for now.
