I didn't have any problem choosing Mozilla as my default web browser, but I need
to access the actual command line that starts it in default situations. The
only way to stop the Mozilla splash at opening is to add "nosplash" as a switch.

I'm sure it's probably in the Registry somewhere, but where?

Thanks for any help.

For Mozilla Firefox, you will need to add the switch for the firefox.exe
launch under the following registry keys (and maybe use "-nosplash"):

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CHROME\shell\open\command
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\FirefoxHTML\shell\open\command
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\command
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\https\shell\open\command

Thanks for your reply, Torgeir. But I'm actually using Mozilla v.1.7.12, not
Firefox. Under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, there is no CHROME sub folder. Nor did
searching turn up any likely substitute. I have the others — with MozillaHTML
as #2 instead of FirefoxHTML, of course. Entries are the same for all three:

C:\Program Files\mozilla.org\Mozilla\MOZILLA.EXE -url "%1"

There are two other suspicious areas following MozillaHTML: MozillaXHTML and
MozillaXML. Their entries are the same as above, and I'm guessing they'll need
to be changed, too.

I'm thinking ........\MOZILLA.EXE -nosplash -url "%1" should do what I want. Is
there something else I should look for in place of the missing CHROME area?

Thanks for your help.

No, I would think the CHROME part is a thing that applies to Firefox
