    If you are using ClickOnce, then your application will have to check to see if it's registered as the default browser and set it up if not. ClickOnce doesn't have any ability to make registry settings.

    If you are using a Setup project, then you can use the Registry Editor in the setup project to make the registry entries.

    Also, setup projects are under: Other Project Types.  You'll need to go to File, Add New Project to add it to your solution.

    Setup projects are available in VB Standard edition and above (Other Project Types/Setup and Deployment). If you're using the Express edition, ClickOnce is your only deployment option.

    See this MSDN document for all the details on registering your program with 'Set Program Access and Defaults' -- as you'll see, creating some Registry keys and values is all that is required.

    no, just have the setup program create certin registry keys for you when it installs it, without the user having todo anything with the registry.
