Hello,

I have a GPO that installa by msi 'Firefox'. and at all time Firefox is
choose by Browser default.

So i want to have IE by default and no Firefox.

I'm not sure what you mean. Are you saying the Firefox MSI runs each time and changes the default to Firefox?

You may have to create a registry script that runs as part of the logon process in a GPO logon script, or a script specified in user AD properties, or added to your existing logon script, that will set IE as default browser for HTTP and HTTPS.

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\command, double click on default and set the string to the command you wish to run for Internet addresses, for example
"c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -nohome

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\https\shell\open\command, double click on default and set the string to the command you wish to run for Internet addresses, for example
"c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -nohome

Keep in mind, that if the workstation operating system is x64, you may have to create separate logon scripts because IE location is different on the C: drive. Please test before implementing.
