BROWSER Environment variable

I'm running BOINC 5.10.20 under Windows XP SP3.
When I want to see my results status, I receive a pop-up messagen telling that it cannot find my browser and suggest to add my browser path in the environment varisble BROWSER.
Where is this variable located?
THanks for your answer

Re: BROWSER Environment variable

I get this on some machines. Simply open your browser first then click on the link.

Re: BROWSER Environment variable

Windows has several places to specify the default browser. Setting a variable is done in the System control panel, advanced, environment variables. The other place is Program Access & Settings. Click on the Customize radio button and choose the browser. Normally inside the browser itself you can specify to check if it's default.

I've specified in Firefox to open pop ups if any in a tab of the same window instead of opening a new window.

Here's an FAQ: http://boincfaq.mundayweb.com/index.php?view=235

I've not tried to follow those instructions.
