I'm starting to use Skype more and more for work. When people send
me links in the IM the link automatically opens up in Internet Explorer.
I wanted to change the default to Chrome but could not find where to do
so.
I went on line and found the answer: Skype opens
up the device's default browser. You cannot make the change within
Skype. You must go to your browser of choice and make the change there.
This
begs the question: when designing user admin sections should IA
professionals include information on settings that their app doesn't
update? In this case it would have been very nice for Skype to have a
tab " Update Default Browser" and tell me, the user, that I would have
to go to Chrome and declare that my default browser.
Now,
you may ask - why didn't I do that already? Because I unpinned IE from
the Windows 7 taskbar. It wasn't part of my consciousness - that's why.
