I don’t like to use IE for my system default web browser.

but

I do want to set IE as my browser in VS2010 because it works a little nicer for debugging and I like to develop to the lowest common denominator. (jab, lol)… anyhow, can I default to debugging against IE?

I know in VS2008 you just had to “Browse With…” on an .aspx page. But that option doesn’t exist in VS2010 RC. What gives?

    This is for VS2008, but should apply just as well to VS2010.

    You have several options.

    Go to the web project properties to the “web” tab.

    Option 1:

    • Under “Start Action”, select “Start External Program” and set the path to your browser of choice, pass the URL in through the command line parameters

    Option 2:

    • Setup your machine to use your browser of choice as the default browser.
    • Under “Start Action”, select “Start URL”. This will invoke the default browser.
