    Need Help: Detection of IEXPLORE path

    Hi folks -

    I would appreciate a code fragment or a good explanation on the subject of detecting the full path to IEXPLORE.EXE in a VB program. In win2k, a call to Environ("ProgramFiles") does enough of the trick (generally), but does not work in win98, since "ProgramFiles" is not set. I need a method that is bulletproof across as many versions of Windows as possible. I'm not terribly deep, so code that I can just copy and paste would be a real boon. That said, any guidance would be gratefully accepted.

    Best to all,

    Mike

    I found it here in the registry on Win2000

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\IEXPLORE.EXE

    You could try looking for that path on other Win's.

    It's there on Win95 too.
