How to change Visual Studio help (F1) to open in Chrome?

When I press F1 in Visual Studio, it opens the MSDN website in Internet Explorer. I would like it to open in Google Chrome (as links do from other apps). How can I achieve that?

Google Chrome is my default browser in Windows.

  • Open Visual Studio
  • Click ‘Tools’ >> ‘Options…’
  • In Options window, please select ‘Environment’ >> ‘Web Browser’ >> Click ‘Internet Explorer Options…’
  • In Internet Properties window, please select Programs Tab.
  • In Programs Tab, click ‘Set programs’ >> ‘Set your default programs’
  • In this window, you could set your default for all file types and protocols it can open.

This is take from: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/30afe492-7173-4c03-a671-02484e3fc560/cannot-open-visual-studio-2010-help-files-in-another-browsers
