    Internet Explorer Path (Resolved)

    Does anyone know how to find the path to the iexplore.exe file? I want to shell a new window in IE, but using:
    VB Code:
    1. Shell "explorer [url]http://www.mysite.com[/url]", vbNormalFocus
    Doesn't set focus to the new IE window. It just puts it in the taskbar and flashes it. I just want to have my program find the path to IE, probably somewhere in the registry (I don't know where, and search found too many entries). I just need to find where it's installed, because sometimes people have different paths instead of C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer.

    Thanks
    Joey

    Or, I know how to find the Program Files path in the registry. Can anyone tell me if Internet Explorer HAS to be installed to Program Files\Internet Explorer or can a different directory be specified?

    NEVERMIND. I figured it out by myself. I found it in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AppPaths\IEXPLORE.EXE\{Default}

    Thanks anyway, next time I'll do more investigation before posting a question.
