Browser choice screen - How to block it

As anyone in the EU will no doubt know Microsoft has released an update for certain versions of Windows which when installed brings up a browser choice window.

In my humble opinion this is a case of the nanny state taking over and should be blocked at its earliest opportunity. So here is a way of changing your registry to block the browser choice window

Here are the registry details

 

            Registry key:

                         HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\BrowserChoice 

             Value name:

                        Enable

             Value type:

                        DWORD 

             Possible values:

                        1          Display the Browser Choice update (default)

                        0          Do not display the Browser Choice update
