Well, Legacy says that I can use any browser I want to use; as long as I
let the Legacy program know where it is located on my disk. I let
Legacy know (see the details below) and the program verified that I had
given it the correct hard disk address. Legacy did in fact start Google
Chrome (as it should).
I must admit, I was under the impression that the browser specified
inside the Legacy options, was the one that would be used when
previewing any generated web pages.
I also know, that the Legacy program uses a WebBrowser control as part
of the Legacy Home Page tab. Further, this control (which makes the
programming of a simple browser so easy) *has* to be based on IE. MS
still haven't removed this dependency from any Windows version even
though this was, I thought, what all the law suits were about.
When referring to IE, you must make a clear distinction between the
visible part of IE and the engine that runs under the hood. The engine
is *always* used whenever a program makes use of th MS-developed
WebBrowser control. No getting around this, unless and until the likes
of Mozilla and Google split their browsers into the same two parts.
To satisfy (get around?) the legal issues, all MS have done is allow you
to choose a default browser that will be used whenever you double-click
on an html file on your disk. Don't expect this to be used automatically
by what is really a very simple piece of code where everything happens
under the hood.
