Hi,

Is it possible to get the default program of a Windows environment for a
certain file-type ???

For example: I want to know what (and where) the default application for
opening PDF-files is on a certain system. Lets say it's Adobe Acrobat Reader
5.0 and the exe to run is C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat
5.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe
Is it possible to retrieve this information in Java ??? And how do I do this
???

Hope someone can help. Many thanks in advance !!!
Erwin
