Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Default Programs in Control Panel should show a list of programs in the 'set your default programs' link. If you choose another browser besides IE, like Firefox, the url association will change.

"Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" checkbox are
grayed out in Windows Vista Home Edition

I am unable to change the program to open this kind of file ".url" I did a
google search, and found many answers but any one work for me, the option
still grayed out with a check mark.

Any help will be appreciated.
