Windows does seem to have the habit of changing the default browser back to Internet Explorer from time to time. Many web browsers do also ask the user during installation if he wants to change the default browser. The difference between the default web browser and an installed browser is that the default browser is being used to open html and htm files on the system. Clicking on a link in a application will launch the link in the default browser.
Browser Tray Switch by Mouser has been designed with a second aspect in mind. Mouser is using the software program to define a default browser in Windows that is not allowed to connect to the Internet. This ensures that malicious software programs cannot launch the default browser. If he needs to access the Internet with the default browser he simply switches it using his software program for the time it is needed.
Another simple application for the program would be to set the default browser in Windows. Many users do not like fiddling around in the Windows Registry and this application provides an easy intuitive way to do that.
The application will automatically create a backup of the settings during the first startup. It will also automatically detect the installed web browsers (unless they are portable) and add them to the right-click menu of the system tray application.
