Default browser

[the_lord_mephy]

Is there a way to run/find someones default internet browser?

I checked the macros.

It might help if you search the forum for "default browser".

Or search for default file association. I think it was Larry that made a script that gets the default association for any registered file type.

UDF

Perhaps, he only requires the path founded in the registry. (I believe)

$defaultBrowser = StringSplit(RegRead("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\command", ""), " ")
Run($defaultBrowser[1] & " http://www.autoit3.com/")

That's what I was talking about, thanks Josbe!

Why not use DllCall?

DllCall("shell32.dll", "long", "ShellExecute", "hwnd", 0, "string", "", "string", "http://www.autoit3.com/", "string", "", "string", "", "long", @SW_SHOWNORMAL)

Thanks to this post.

Sorry, I searched the Manual for default browser and nothing came up, searching the forum didn't cross my mind for some reason.

Edit and I don't want to even try DLL calling yet, josbe. yours works beautifully.
