Description Jason Rush 2001-04-11 01:19:13 UTC

The field "Executable browser" is used for External Browser (Unix), but is not 
used for External Browser (Windows).  In order to avoid confusion on the user's 
part, we should remove any fields that are unnecessary.

Comment 1 _ rkubacki 2001-04-12 13:21:04 UTC

It helps if it is not possible to find path for browser from windows registry.

Comment 2 Jason Rush 2001-04-12 14:40:55 UTC

Closing as invalid.  Issue was filed without full knowledge of what the
Executable Browser field would be used for on Windows.

It has been clarified that this field is used when the path to the specified
browser cannot be found in the Windows Registry.
