Are you publishing for CD? If so, when you publish content for CD or another offline location (DVD, kiosk, etc.), hyperlinks in the published output will always open in Internet Explorer—even if a different browser is the default browser. This is by design. Content published for CD launches in a form that's based on Internet Explorer, which is why hyperlinks also open in Internet Explorer.

Hi Mitch!
How are you publishing and viewing the content? Be sure that you are viewing as your learner would and not locally.

Hi Ashley,
Is there anyway to avoid this? We use a HTML based LMS and I need the links to open in Chrome
Hello David and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)
Thanks for reaching out.
You mention that you're publishing to LMS. If you're opening this course in Chrome, your links should then open in Chrome, even if in a new tab.
It sounds like that is not what you are experiencing?
Are you viewing the published course from the LMS or viewing locally, which may launch those links in IE due to the requirements Ashley shared above.
Hi Leslie,
The LMS is required to use IE. so when I use any web based links they all go to IE.
Gotcha David!
Well, that explains why the links are opening in IE as well.
Manually doing a copy/paste is the only thing that comes to mind.
I'm not sure if anyone in the community has found a way to outsmart their LMS on individual computers, but hopefully, they will chime in if they have.
