Well since we're all showing different ways:

$URL = "http://www.mysite.com"
DllCall("shell32.dll", "long", "ShellExecute", "hwnd", 0, "string", 'open', "string", $URL, "string", '', "string", @ScriptDir, "long", @SW_SHOWNORMAL)

Edit: Of course if I bothered to reade the title of this post before I posted, I would of seen you were looking for the specific Registry key... oops

Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.

$Internet_Browser_Name = RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\htmlfile\shell\open\command", "")

There is no guarantee that the ProgID used by HTML files will actually be "htmlfile". In fact, the ProgID on my machine is "FirefoxHTML". If I ran your snippet on my machine, I would get the wrong results back since the values contained in the htmlfile sub-key are irrelevant to what the real settings on my system are.

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\command

Plus:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\https\shell\open\command

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ftp\shell\open\command

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\gopher\shell\open\command !! I like this one :-)

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htmlfile\shell\open\command

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\FirefoxHTML\shell\open\command

and maybe some more.... Unfortunately there is no single entry for the "default browser". It all depends on which protocol or file extension you are going to use/access.

Cheers
