Where does Visual Studio save the default browser for use in debugging?

I use Firefox as the default browser, but when working in Visual Studio I would like to start IE when debugging.

We all know that in the MVC application there is no way to select the default browser, if you do not add a web form file, right-click it, select view and do not make the browser be standard. Fine.

My simple question is: where does VS store the browser, I just tell it to use (registry file? Project? Some xml configuration file?) I ask because VS loses this preference several times a month. I'm fed up with doing the trick again and again.

Thanks in advance Fabian
