Cadence cdsdoc default browser

[echo47]

cdsdoc viewer cannot start

I'm running Allegro SPB 15.5 on Win2k. How can I make cdsdoc (the documentation viewer) use my Firefox web browser instead of Internet Explorer? I tried setting cdsdoc's preferences to Netscape 4.x and 7.x, but it continues using IE. I don't like IE, and I don't have or want Netscape. I set my Windows default browser to Firefox, but that seems to have no effect in this situation.

Is there some way to create a phantom Netscape installation that simply links to Firefox?

Warnning: before editing he registry . Take a backup of ur registry
before taking backup or editing the registry try out this
start ur default browser what u had setted in cdsdoc first and start cdsdoc. and check out . if it also not working try the following

before editing the registry close ur cdsdoc

HKEY_CURRENT_USER-> software-> Cadence -> cdsdoc
delete the Browser key.
start cdsdoc and it will ask for enter ur default browser again

I can't do you first suggestion because cdsdoc offers only three choices: Netscape 4.x, Netscape 7.x, and IE. My installed browsers are Firefox and IE.

I deleted the registry key and restarted cdsdoc, but it did not ask me for my default browser. It simply recreated the "Browser" key and set it to "msie".

HKEY_CURRENT_USER-> software-> Cadence Design Systems -> psdcomman -> win -> htmlbrowser
change the Browser Path

No such registry keys in my installation. No "psdcomman" or "browser" or "html" in the Cadence sections, except for the one key we tried earlier.
