Hi ,
I need to know where IE is installed using the registry because i do not
want to assume it is in the path. Is there a registry key i can rely on for
launching IE.

Thanks

Sarab,

Try:

%programfiles%\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE

Alternately, the IEXPLORE.EXE location can be queried from one of these two
registry keys:

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

or

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\iexplore.exe\shell\open\command
