Hi.  I opened the NVDA User Guide to reference something, and I noticed that it didn't open in Microsoft Edge, which is set as my default browser.  Is the specific shortcut to the User Guide set to open in another browser?  I tried to open another web-based manual for comparison, and it opened in Edge.

Thanks,

Louise

I would check to see if edge is still your default browser, things can change without you realizing

Thats the only thing it could be

This is not an encouragement (though I would encourage it) for you to join the Chat Subgroup, but for you to learn and use the tools that Groups.io gives you to control the traffic you actually get in your inbox for any/all of the groups you're subscribed to.

Groups.io allows the end user an exquisite level of control over what they do and do not receive as a subscriber to any group.  I wrote this tutorial so that people would have an easy reference guide as to how to control what they get:  Controlling the Messages You Receive via E-Mail from Groups.io (docx)

As Gene has noted, you can use the nomail option for any group and get nothing in your inbox, but can still check out that group on the Groups.io web interface.  You can also set up topic preview (detailed in the tutorial) where you get the first message in any new topic, but unless you choose to follow it, you will not receive any additional messages for that topic.  This can and does cut down on incoming traffic from a group immensely.

Hi.  I checked the settings for filetypes, and the htm and html files are set to open in Edge, and are mentioned as Edge files.  I can't find a filetype for Chrome, which is the browser that some web-based documentation (including the NVDA user guide) has opened in.  When I uninstalled Chrome, they opened in Internet Explorer.  I reinstalled Chrome, and the documentation went back to opening there.  I won't fiddle around with the filetypes without knowing what I'm doing.

Thanks,

Louise

Hi Louise

You will not find a Chrome filetype because Chrome is the app and you’re associating a filetype with an App.  All you have to do is find .htm in the list of filetypes, tab to the associated button labelled as Microsoft Edge and activate it.  It will then give you a series of buttons, 1 for each browser you have installed and you just activate the one you now want to associate with the .htm filetype.  Yu will then return to the filetypes list, where you can then find the .html entry and repeat the above process.

Cheers

Hi Louise

Apologies, you don’t need to tab when you get to the .htm file entry in the list of filetypes, you are already on the correct button, so just activate it.

Hi

The original problem was that the default browser had been changed to Chrome as you described.  This action does not change the default app for .htm and .html, so when NVDA user guide was opened, it still used Edge.

Hi.  When I opened the user guide from the NVDA website, it opened in Edge.  It seems to be the shortcuts to the user guide in the NVDA menus that open in another browser.

Thanks,
