Browser Chooser

Fixed typo in About URL

Release for v1.0.9

Includes patch 4227 that fixes the jumplist bugginess.

Source for release 1.0.8. Includes new graphics and all patches/improvements since 1.0.7.

Applied patch 4109.

Enabled close button in Vista/non-Aero style. Added code so that if "custom" is chosen for a browser slot it empties all the fields.

Applied patch 4088. Also disabled context menu if Browser Chooser is opened without a url (no sense copying Nothing to clipboard or adding Nothing to auto-open url list).

Noticed that if no url was passed the app was missing its title bar due to no text message filled in prior to moving the mouse over one of the icons. Rectified by setting text property on main form.

Making some changes to the Unshortened URLs feature.
1) using Background worker so that the UI of the app gets updated on the correct thread since the current code was making UI changes from the thread unshortening the URL
2) Moving the WebRequest to use the HEAD method so that just the unshortened URL is retrieved rather than the entire web page which is unecessary just to find out what the actual URL is

New feature: Unshortened URLs. Optionally reveal the true url behind shortened URLs. Please test. It takes a few seconds to get the true URL so it's run in a separate thread.
Cleaned up some stuff, removed unused images from Resources.

Added built-in support for the Flock browser and updated Browser Chooser icon (still want a nicer one but don't have the talent...)

Can now hold down CTRL while clicking browser icon (or using shortcut key) and Browser Chooser will remain open.

Tweaked the background image for Windows Vista / Windows 7 with Aero turned off.

Sometimes the Options window would cover up the Update Check notification message box. Changed the way the Options window opens (Show instead of ShowDialog).

Fixed a typo in the Update Check routine.

Source for v1.0.7 release.

Improves support for Windows XP:
- displaying a nicer design when the OS is prior to Windows Vista (or if Aero is not running)
- Make active (Set as default browser) is now working in XP

Source for 1.0.7

Fix for 2542 - Jumplist shortcuts don't support command line parameters

Nudged the Intranet browser dropdown and check now buttons over a bit to align with make default button. For some reason they aligned in the design view but not in reality.

small bug fix to setting jump list icon on 32 bit systems with 64 bit portable app config files

This payload includes:

1) Jump List support for Windows 7. If you pin Browser Chooser to the Taskbar you will get shortcuts to launch your configured browsers from the Taskbar. This was done using the Windows API code samples which require two DLLs that are embeded in the application as resources allowing Browser Chooser to remain as a single executable.

2) Intranet URL supprt. You can pick a browser to be used for launching all Intranet URLs (like Internet Explorer). Handy if you get a lot of links in email that point to internal sites. Note: this assumes that the intranet urls are not fully qualified urls such as http://server.forest.domain.company.com but rather http://server

3) a lot of code refactoring and cleanup to reduce the amount of code in the app and make it easier to manage / read

Applied Patch 3930 allowing for custom icons (.ico or png files). This is the source for the 1.0.6 release.

Fixing Issue 2526 by first checking if a browser is active before trying anything else
