How to set the default browser home page (IE) with C#?

Question

How can I programmatically change my browser's default home page with C#?

Answer 1

See this, which is not in C#, but you should be able to work out the registry stuff in C# pretty easily.

Please don't arrange for this code to run on my machine!

Answer 2

Set it in this registry setting:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Start Page

Answer 3

* Edit: I misread the question. Voted self down. *

I'd hit the registry:

For User Based Changes

HKCU\Software\Clients\StartMenuInternet

Check the keys below this key for the list of browsers on the system. Set the reg_sz value to the name of the key of the browser that you want to set as default.

For Machine-Wide Changes

Check HKLM\Software\Clients\StartMenuInternet for the system
