title: What Windows registry key holds the path to the Chrome browser .exe
body: <p>I want to check to see if Chrome is installed (on Windows XP+) and create a shortcut to Chrome to launch a specific website (that requires Chrome).</p>
  
  <p>What Registry key has the Path to the Chrome .exe?</p>
  
  <p>I think it's this (just from looking @ a Chrome install on Win xp and 7):</p>
  
  <pre><code>HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\Chrome.exe
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This works on Windows XP and Windows 7 (and according to an answer below, Windows 8 and 8.1)</p>
