How do I change the default web browser on my Axim?

Hi. Recently I installed the web browser FtxpBrowser on my Axim and I would like that to be my default browser instead of Internet Explorer. Currently it is not listed in the Programs window with my other programs, but Internet Explorer is there. What do I have to do to make it easily accessible for quick launch? Thanks.

in file explorer, browse to the program, select it and choose "copy". then browse to the \windows\start menu\programs folder, select some blank space and choose "paste shortcut". then it should be listed with your other programs.

Thanks for the advice. I tried it a few minutes ago and it worked.

I know it's an old thread, but I thought I'd answer the question about the default browser, since I just did it.

Using a registry editor (in my case PHM) change "HKey_classes_root\http\shell\open\command\default " from iexplore.exe %1 to the path for ftxpbrowser.exe in quotes. In my case, it appears exactly as follows (with quotes): "\built-in storage\programs\ftxpbrowser.exe" %1

Now Google Helper brings up ftxpbrowser instead of iexplore.
