Launching default broweser with default webpage

[imhyo]

Hi, folks,
What is the easiest way to launch default web browser showing the default webpage?
I know how to launch a specific web page.
I'd like to know how to launch "default" web page configured in web browser.
Thank you.

This will open a page with the default browser ...


ShellExecute(NULL, "open", "c:\\yourpage.html", NULL, NULL, SW_SHOW);

Hi,
You can get the default browser from your registry,
[Key="HKey Classes Root\http\shell\open\command"]

Then,
ShellExecute(NULL,"Open",STRING FROM REGISTRY,NULL,NULL,SW_SHOW);










Regards,

If you don't specify the application you wish to open the file with, ShellExecute will automatically open that file with the default application associated with that file extension (or fail if one doesn't exist). So it is not necessary to query the registry for the default browser in this instance.

Actually, Sree is correct - i misread your post - you want to launch a browser and open the browsers home page, rather than open the browser with your own html file ...

Please ignore my previous post
