Running Win7 Ent 64bit
From within SSMS 2012 SP2, when I hit F1 (or Help
, View Help
), I am taken to Google Chrome rather than MSIE11. By every indication I can find, MSIE11 is my default browser, not Google Chrome.
I've gone into MSIE11 and made it my default (Tools
, Internet Options
, Programs
, Make Default
). Then into Chrome, check Settings
, and it tells me Google Chrome is not currently your default browser
. For good measure, I went into Firefox, Tools
, Options
, to see Firefox is not your default browser
.
In Control Panel
, Set your default programs
, Internet Explorer
, I see This program has all its defaults
. For good measure, I select Choose defaults for this program
, click Select All
, and click Save
.
I've gone fishing around the registry to try to see where Chrome has left it's toehold, and won't give it up to MSIE11, but I'm not finding it.

I discovered a nuance to this issue. This problem occurs only when I'm running SSMS under different credentials using Runas. If I run SSMS under the AD credentials I'm logged in as, F1 correctly takes me to MSIE.
