[nfbcs] windows 10, URLs entered in the start menu always come up in Edge, not the default browser

[Curtis Chong]

Hello Jim et al:

Yes, that is correct. Edge still is invoked if something in a Start Menu search goes to the Web.

Cordially,

Curtis Chong

Thanks Curtis.  This laptop belong to my employer, so I'll let them

I take it that the URL problem is not fixed in the latest update, correct?

Thanks,

Jim
