Answer 1

and what do you mean by "browser type" ? Atleast your expected set of output from this c# program. [IE/Firefox/Opera/Safari.. is that what you want ?]

Hi, Coder_Cool:

  Maybe you could refer to the following 3 registry entries to get the default brower setting info.

  “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\ Associations\UrlAssociations\[ftp|http|https]\UserChoice“

  On my box, I installed IE8, Chorme and Firefox side by side. And when I change my default browser type, the default key value of the  above 3 registry entries changes accordingly, respectively they are:

  IE8: IE.FTP/IE.HTTP/IE.HTTPS
  Chrome: ChromeHTML/ChromeHTML/ChromeHTML
  Firefox: FirefoxURL/FirefoxURL/FirefoxURL

  For a detailed narration, refer to this article.

  About how to manipulate registry in C#, here are some refs:
