Default browser when opening URLs in Office

[reefoid]

OK, I give up. I've been through every setting I can find in Word & Excel but can't find out how to do this.

My default browser is set to Chrome, but whenever I click on a URL in any MS Office application it opens in IE. Anyone know how to change this?

Thanks

I have my default browser set as chrome as well but when I click a link in office 2010
in opens in Chrome no problem.

Are you 110% sure that chrome is set to default ?
When you open IE does it ask you to set that as default?
If not chances are that IE is actually the default browser.

No, Chrome is definitely default. In Control Panel Chrome has all defaults turned on, IE has none. Also, if I create a blank html file on my desktop it opens in Chrome.

I rarely open links in docs so I'm not sure if its always behaved this way or not.

Works fine on my laptop, everything opens in Chrome. Can't see any difference in the config between the two though.
