Hi
I have a VS2008 web app, however when I click the Run button, IE (I am
using version 7) does not start up.
I do get the localhost system tray icon, and then when I click on that
I can click the hyperlink which then starts my web browser as it
should.

IE 7 is my default and only web browser. I can't find any option in
VS2008 for this type of option.

Does anyone know how I enable IE?
Thanks

Check the settings for the web project. You have probably by accident
changed the Start Action setting so that it waits for a request instead
of opening a page.

Hi Goran, thanks for your reply.
I checked my settings for the solution, and I have:
Start Action: Specific Page (my startup page)
Servers: Use VS Development Server

All the other settings seem to be ok. It's very strange!

btw, the web server doesnt close when I stop running the application
either.
