Don't think there is a enumerate function for that.

Your post isn't clear. Enumerate running browsers? Enumerate non-running browsers? What are you looking for?

As far as posting "no one cares"... Keep in mind that we're volunteers here. So there isn't a staff available waiting for YOU to post.

Be patient and someone will try to help you.

Thank you, I'd like to know what browsers a computer is installed with.

I am thinking to make a text list of all browsers (collected in wiki) then search the whole computer for the matched browser string. (This is exhausting)

The only thing the system knows is the 'default browser'. This info is stored in the registry. AFAIK windows doesn't has a list of all the installed browsers. Browsers just 'regular' programs.

It's also inefficient and there is no guarantee if you find the browser, it's the match you are looking for or if the browser even will start.

Generally a quest like this leads to a dead end.

If you can tell us why you want to know all the browsers, then we might be able to suggest alternative approaches.

I do that because I want to get a list of installed browsers

I got that. I'm wondering why you need the list of installed browsers.

[Befefe]

Because I need to see that list in my listview

I guess your wish already helps. Thanks for real questions.

Arjay, could you delete this thread for me ? I have asked this question for 2 days and its clear that no one, except you and some others, actually pays attention to this for a reply, while you always try to make me tell me doing and my concrete type of program plot
