How do I change the default browser and home button action / default launcher? I don't seem to have the Applications entry under the Settings app. Where do I look for these settings?

Home Switcher can facilitate the Home app change, but browser... Not sure. You could always install a new browser

You can use NookColorTools to clear defaults for the current default apps. Or, you can get HomeSwitcher and Default Browser from the market

Look for twlauncher
Touch it. Choose "Clear Defaults"
touch the home button.
Set LP as default.

Isn't there a button in Home Switcher that says "Make default" or something along those lines? Pretty sure there was when I was using it.

There is. Don't work on froyo at least. not sure about eclair.
yea set default worked fine in eclair....in froyo, the set default changes back to touchwiz after the press of home button....so had to clear the default and make the changes once again....
EDIT: This has been resolved, at the expense of my own ignorance and embarrassment! Thanks for the help, folks.
For whatever reason, all of a sudden, I can't seem to long press on any icons or on the wall itself on my ADW Launcher home screens. So I can't move or delete icons or widgets nor add any new widgets and etc. from that "add" menu. However, I can long press in the app drawer and in folders, and basically anywhere in the phone except for the home screen.
I've tried clearing cache, reverting back to stock launcher (where I can long press fine anywhere), resetting ADW, and rebooting my phone, etc. Nothing seems to fix it. Holding down on an icon will just result in the orange highlight staying on indefinitely.
Clearly it's an issue with ADW, but has anyone experienced this?
did you unlock adw in the menu? you may have locked the desktop.

Download "Home Switcher" from the Market (free). Open it, then hit "Clear Default" on the bottom. It'll bring you to your current launcher's system setting menu, then just hit "Clear defaults" near the bottom. Next time you hit your Home key, it'll ask what launcher you want; pick and choose and choose to make it default or not.
Hope that helps.

Or Menu -> [ADW Options -> Phone Settings (if using ADW) ] Applications -> Manage Applications -> Go to your launcher -> clear defaults
^^ If you know what launcher, you should anyways.
Please delete me!

menu -> unlock desktop.....
nevermind. problem solved.
to unlock/lock the desktop...simply click the settings button when on the home screen (the 2nd from the left on mytouch 4g) and then click "more" and then lock/unlock desktop.
I have three launchers on my Captivate, original TW, Launcher pro, and ADW. Every time I hit Home button (2nd from left), I get the window to select which one. It has a checkbox at the bottom to select to use the one hit as default from then on.
My question is, once that checkbox is selected (say if I selected ADW), how in the future can I get back to, e.g., TW? I could open Launcherpro or ADW from Apps, (but I would hate to have to go to Apps every time to open it)! But I don't see how to ever get back to TouchWiz since it is not in Apps. ??
Can you make that selection window show again once you have checked a specific default?
Settings, applications, manage, launcher you are using, clear defaults
Use home switcher or go into menu, settings, applications, choose all, find the default launcher, click on it and select clear defaults. From memory but should be close.
after you choose the default, to reset the default:
from homescreen, menu, settings
applications, manage applications
find your current default launcher in the list, click on it
select CLEAR DEFAULTS
hit home and it will ask you what to use
Thanks.
Love this place--it should be named "answers are here!"

I agree...use home switcher. I t makes life a lot easier, especially when you want to try out some launchers without going back and forth to the settings menu.
Now every time after i long-pressed the Home key to enter task manager,
when i press the home key again,
the system just ask me to select default launcher again.
I have try to use all launcher switcher and deleted all launcher (launcher pro etc)
and now i just have the TW launcher.
Please help.
Hmm, you did tick the box with default launcher right?
(And you tried home switcher for froyo)
And having one launcher you ticked the box and still get the "choose"?
Sorry if I misunderstood you.
Well try to go to applications look for the tw launcher and clear cache/data. But this will reset your settings of the launcher too. But have 2 launchers installed just in case something goes more wrong and you would have to do a factory reset .

Yes , you are right.
i have try factory reset, but as i used titanium backup to backup all other apps other than those launcher.
but seems after i install launcherpro, no matter i uninstall it or not, the problem is come again
find the launchers you dont use in settings > manage applications > 'unwanted launcher'
then un-install it or try clearing data / defaults. that should do the trick.
if you only have one launcher on your phone and you set that as default, it cant ask you which one to choose from.
Download an application name Home switcher and set one as default so everytime u long press home button you it will not ask again and u can reset any default launcher u like ..
