In a python program running under windows I used the os.startfile() function to open something.html file.

I now wanted to test the edge case of having no browser installed.

How do I simulate this case under Windows without uninstalling all browsers? I already tried to remove the default programs connection to html files but windows doesn't like that and doesn't let me do it.

For example, how about using a Windows Server with minimal functionality that does not have the desktop function installed? – kunif Feb 13 '19 at 08:15
You could just change extension of your `something.html` file to one not registered within a system. – montonero Feb 13 '19 at 08:17
@montonero that's a very simple and obvious answer... thank you. – Stoppsignal Feb 13 '19 at 09:17
