Does anyone know how I can determine the default web browser using VB.

Here's how you run the default web browser


private Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias _
"ShellExecuteA" (byval hwnd as Long, byval lpOperation as string, _
byval lpFile as string, byval lpParameters as string, byval lpDirectory _
as string, byval nShowCmd as Long) as Long

private Const SW_SHOW = 5

private Sub Command1_Click()
ShellExecute me.hwnd, "open", "about:blank", vbNullString, vbNullString, SW_SHOW
End Sub





Just querying the default browser, I don't know how to do it.
