Hi All,

I need to open a browser from my application. I use ShellExecuteEx now but
that doesn't seem to always return the handle so I can't pass it to
WaitForSingleObject. So I am going to change it to use CreateProcess the
problem is I don't know what browser applications are installed on the
machine. ShellExecuteEx just executes the default browser (which is very
nice). How can I get the default browser and path in my application so I
know waht to execute?

Thanks

Glenn
