| Jan 26, 2018 at 8:52 | comment | added | Ellipsis | I've noticed that this makes Chrome the default for all file types it can open. This overrides the default for opening PDFs to Chrome which isn't preferred in my particular situation. Would it be possible to avoid the PDF filetype being modified? (.html, .shtml, .htm, etc - pretty much everything except PDF). I suppose I'm looking to replicate the behaviour of changing 'Web Browser' in "Default Apps" (automatically, and ideally silently). | |

Also, you can simplify the SendKeys bits into just WshShell.SendKeys "{TAB} {TAB}{TAB} ".

Also, if you want to run this on startup, just put the .vbs file in %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
