I want to read the registry file of win98 or windows NT to know the default browser installed on a machine like Internet Explorer or Netscape Communicator.
The purpose is that I want to open up a particular site on this default browser automatically through my VB6 application without exiting the application.
The VB program would open the browser through a shell command which requires the path of the executable file of the browser.
Kindly how can I read the path of the exe file of the browser from the registry file.
Would WINAPI32 be used for this purpose??
Kindly treat this as urgent..
 
I answered this in one of your previous cross-posts. See thread221-38628.
