   Does not work. No matter what, IE kicks in every time you click a link.

   Yep, doesn’t work at all for me 2. Vista just doesn’t give third party software a chance.

   Just fixed this in Vista. Right click chrome and run as an administrator. Then open up options and make chrome the default browser and the text will go green. Job done!
