Any way to add edge as one of the browsers?

[Former user]

does not work if you use path to exe here in win 10 C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe

Thank you

got a little further--this will allow browserchooser2 to open edge when you open browserchooser2 directly and click the edge icon. But when you use it as a browser replacement triggered by clicking a URL it does not pass the url and instead opens an explorer window. Path: C:\Windows\explorer.exe Arguments: shell:Appsfolder\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe!MicrosoftEdge

Please let me know if there is an attribute I can add that would let it work. Thank you!

At the old site (codeplex), there is a discussion about Edge. http://browserchooser2.codeplex.com/discussions/647182 Look the 5th item. It seemed to work for them and is what I am aligning BC2 for.

(from the codeplex site) http://browserchooser2.codeplex.com/discussions/647182 - user sakima (note: formatting is munged, see link above for original formating) Launching EGDE from the command line is done like this: C:\Windows\Explorer.exe microsoft-edge: If you want to pass a URL, use: C:\Windows\Explorer.exe microsoft-edge:http://www.microsoft.com A batch file like this works: (A website can be passed or not) @ echo off start "" "C:\Windows\Explorer.exe" "microsoft-edge:%* "

So, in Browser Chooser, this works for me: Path: c:\windows\explorer.exe I have "is Internet explorer checked, but I don't know if that matters or not. Haven't tested with it off. Arguments: microsoft-edge: For the icon, I found the edge directory in C:\Windows\SystemApps\ In my case, that is Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe (perhaps that is "standard," but I was suspicious / concerned the numbers might change as revs change over time, but I don't know that for sure. Anyway, in there is an "assets" directory. (Full path: C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\Assets) In there are a bunch of png files. I found the one I liked and copied it to another directory. Then I used that path for the icon. You could probably just used one of those files directly and fix it if the path changes in the future.

I hope this helps.
