Trying to find out a way to programmatically find all the installed browser, I came across this question on SO which points at the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\StartMenuInternet
.
I have installed Google Chrome, Waterfox and of course IE, but the registry does not list Waterfox. Does anyone know if this is intentional or installation error?
> reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\StartMenuInternet
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\StartMenuInternet
(Default) REG_SZ IEXPLORE.EXE
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\StartMenuInternet\Google Chrome
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\StartMenuInternet\IEXPLORE.EXE
> dir /b "c:\Program Files\Waterfox\waterfox.exe"
waterfox.exe
3Maybe you should contact Waterfox's developers and ask if Waterfox registers itself with the system as a browser. – BenjiWiebe – 2013-02-15T02:01:46.543
