Whenever I click on one of the Web site buttons on the Project page of BOINC, it opens my text processor UltraEdit instead of Internet Explorer.
I apologize: I don't know how to fix this. There may be some Windows preference or other setting that determines what program (eg, browser) is opened when such commands are given. Hopefully another user will know the answer.
All I know is that the BOINC Manager uses a wxWidgets function that looks for the program associated with the MIME type, in this case HTML/TEXT I think.
Thats real close, the MIME type is text/html. Its based on the actions taken when you click .htm files in Windows Explorer. Double-clicking the file should open it with the default browser. To edit the file, right click it and select "edit", UltraEdit should start and automatically load the file.
Try this to set Internet Explorer as the default browser and UltraEdit as the html editor:
Start UltraEdit and make sure it doesn't associate itself with HTML files. Applications usually have an option for which extensions it handles, make sure the .htm and .html extensions aren't checked. Save the options and exit UltraEdit.
Run the Intenet Options control panel applet, that brings up the Internet Properties dialog. Switch to the "Programs" tab and where it asks for the "HTML editor" select UltraEdit.
If you use something other than Microsoft software for the rest of the applications, its best to change the entries so they point to the application you're using.
Make sure the box is checked for "Internet Explorer should check to see whether its the default browser".
Click "OK" to save the changes and exit the dialog.
Now start Internet Explorer. It should pop up a box that asks if you want to change the default browser to Internet Explorer. Click "yes". Thats it, IE should be set as the default browser and UltraEdit should work as the html editor.
If you're using Firefox for the browser, use the control panel applet to set the html editor as above. Then start Firefox, click "tools", "options" and then the button for "check now" in the default browser section.
If you're using Mozilla, click "Edit", "Perferences" and click the "Set Default Browser" button. That will also set Mozilla as the default editor. If you want to use UltraEdit, use the Internet Options applet to change the HTML editor back to UltraEdit - you'll have to change to another application first, click "apply", change to UltraEdit and click "apply" again.
Web site buttons on Project tab execute my default test processo

This is most likely a problem with your windows settings. Try to find a way to reset internet explorer as your default browser.

Thanks for the help. Unselecting Ultraedit for html files did the trick
