Any way to make Deploy and Inventory open their Welcome page links with my default browser Chrome instead of IE? Every time I click on a link in either program's Welcome page it runs IE. Bleh!

The links open in Chrome for me.

Which OS are you using?

Opens in Chrome for me as well. Colby can you confirm what the file association is on those? Are they .htm, .lnk, or similar? Could be a default program association issue on his workstation

Windows 7 Pro x64.

I resolved it. I'm running PDQ products under my admin account while logged into my non-admin desktop profile. Logged into my admin profile, changed default browser to Chrome and then the links opened with Chrome. But now Chrome doesn't work running under a different account than currently logged into. So I may have to switch it back to IE anyway.

Stephen, also haven't seen that NTUSER.DAT locking issue since that one time so I now have PDQ Inventory scanning all of our machines. I still believe it was SEP causing the problem. Thanks for your feedback.

@Stephen Valdinger

I'm pretty sure it's just an https link.
