My Java app opens html documents by letting the windows default file handler deal with them. Before doing this I’d like to determine (for statistics) what the standard browser is and which version is installed.
Is it possible to find this information anywhere?
Update This app runs only on Windows.
Not in a standard or portable way. You’d need access to some facilities of the OS.
EDIT: On Windows, I think your only option is to mine the registry, possibly using a WSH script that you invoke using the
Processclass. Nasty.
