Help Change Which Browser Opens Reference Links
So to get right to it, I was using the tutorials about the 3D ball and cube (pickup) game. I'm near the end of the tutorial and one part of the video tells me to open the "Game Collider" Reference Book, which is supposed to link you to the reference page online. I clicked it, it was my first time, and unity asked me if I wanted to open the reference page with Chrome, Visual Studio 2015, or Internet Explorer. I chose Visual Studio seeing as to how I'm using it for the script editing purposes. When it opened however, it gave me what seems to be an error. At this moment in time I'm not trying to fix this error, I'm trying to change which browser the reference page is opened in because it continues to open (any) reference in Visual Studio still. I want to change it to be Chrome from now on. It's kinda frustrating that it doesn't have an "Open Reference Page" with... "blank," in the preferences tab. Can anyone help me change this issue so I can open all references in Chrome instead of Visual Studio. Thanks & I'm a noob. I just wanted to get into game creating and programming but then this happened-impeding my progress. Thanks again for any help.
Hi, I got around this by uninstalling the program Unity 3D chooses by default, then going back to unity3d again to choose the program to view the files. Choose the one you want then install the program you uninstalled again.
You can change it by creating a new .html file or searching for an exiting one on your PC. Then right-click it, go to Properties and modify the default application that opens .html files.
For Windows 10 and potentially windows 7 and 8, do the following.
Press your Windows Key or manually open the Start Menu
Enter "Choose a default web browser" without the quotes.
In the settings window you are able to pick a default web browser, pick the one you want to open the Reference Links in.
Try opening a Reference Link in Unity and it should be all good again.
If you are having issues finding the settings window in Windows 10 you can try: press Windows Key + R and paste the text from within the quotes(exclude quotes that is): "Explorer.exe shell:AppsFolder\Windows.ImmersiveControlPanel_cw5n1h2txyewy!microsoft.windows.immersivecontrolpanel" and if you do not know how to open the Run window, you can open a Command Prompt(CMD) or create a Shortcut where you should be able to enter the text to get to the settings.
This worked for me, so I hope this works for you. I know this is a fairly old post, but as there is no answer I assume to everyone who ends up having the same problem this will be helpful. Cheers~
This doesn't work for me. In Unity 5.6 when I tried to open the Unity Manual the first time it asked me what browser I wanted to use: IE or Edge. (Edge is my default Browser in Windows 10 settings). I selected Edge. But it doesn't work well. So I tried some way to set it to IE. I tried setting the Windows 10 default browser to IE, and also the default for .html extensions. But Unity still opens the Unity Manual in Edge.
So Unity (at least 5.6) stores its default browser separately from Windows Settings.
Correction. I set the Windows 10 default for .html extensions to I$$anonymous$$ And once I restarted Unity, it now opens Help docs in I$$anonymous$$ The general 10 default browser is still Edge.
