Does anybody knows how to specify the browser that I want to use on labview?
I have this VI, which I introduce an URL an it opens Internet Explorer.
I would like to open another browser, google chrome for example.
Maybe you think that is the same but not for me, I have lots of problems with internet explorer.
I attach the VI too.
Thanks in advance

Open URL in Default Browser VI will use whatever is defined as your default browser.
If your default browser is chrome, it will open in chrome.

It looks like there is also an ActiveX controller for Mozilla Firefox. You would install it, restart LabVIEW, then right click on on your ActiveX constant and browse for the mozilla browser class. It is supposed to have the exact same properties and methods as internet explorer ActiveX controller.

I saw it too, but it is no the answer I was looking for, I can not understand how labview can not open the browser that I want

Assuming your reply was directed at Christian...
Did you actually use the function Christian linked?
I have to wonder because he is seldom wrong and the help page for the function he linked indicates it will use the default browser.
Could this be the first time Christian is wrong???????

Open URL in Default Browser opened it in Google Chrome for me.

I am often wrong, but not here. It opens fine in chrome here.
To help the OP further, we need to know the OS and how he defined the default browser.

Hi,
I think that my default browser is Chrome, here you can see what apperas on the configuration windows in Spanish.
If i have to do something more, please tell me because I am so desperate.
Thanks

What's the exact OS and where is that setting you show in the picture.
