title: How to determine the Windows default browser (at the top of the start menu)
body: <p>How can I determine the Windows default browser (at the top of the start menu)?</p>
  
  <p>I am using VB6 but can probably adapt other code no problem.</p>
  
  <p>There are similar questions on Stack Overflow, but they seem to provide incorrect answers.</p>
  
  <p>For instance the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Clients\StartMenuInternet\ lists both Internet Explorer and Firefox on my PC.</p>
  
  <p>And getting the .html association fails for me as well, as HTML files are associated with IE but Firefox is my default browser.</p>
  
  <p>Note that I don't want to actually open the browser, just get it's name.</p>
