Set Google Chrome as Default Browser

Configures the default browser checks in Google Chrome and prevents users from changing them.

If you enable this setting, Google Chrome will always check on start-up whether it is the default browser and automatically register itself if possible.

If this setting is disabled, Google Chrome will never check if it is the default browser and will disable user controls for setting this option.

If this setting is not set, Google Chrome will allow the user to control whether it is the default browser and whether user notifications should be shown when it isn't.
