Hi can anyone knows how to change the source browser from IE to Microsoft edge or google chrome etc? :handsdown:

Code:

BOOL GetIePath( LPSTR lpPath )
{	
	LONG result;
	HKEY hKey;
	DWORD dwType; 
	char data[MAX_PATH];
	DWORD dataSize = MAX_PATH+1;

	result	= ::RegOpenKeyEx ( HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\App Paths\\chrome.exe", 0, KEY_QUERY_VALUE, &hKey );
	if (result == ERROR_SUCCESS) 
	{
		result = ::RegQueryValueEx ( hKey, "Path", NULL, &dwType, (unsigned char *)data, &dataSize );
		strcpy( lpPath, data );
		lpPath[lstrlen( lpPath )-1]	= '\0';
	}
	else
		return FALSE;

	RegCloseKey( hKey );
	return TRUE;
}

This is not working

There are a few reasons why this code might not work as intended. One possibility is that
the specified registry key, "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\chrome.exe",
does not exist on the user's machine. If this is the case, the call to RegOpenKeyEx will return the value ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND and the function will return FALSE.
Another possibility is that the dataSize variable should be initialize with the size of data buffer, and not MAX_PATH+1.
Also, this function will return path of chrome.exe rather than IE.
It's better to use the correct key for the IE path in the registry or use the function SHGetKnownFolderPath to get the location of Internet Explorer.

This is not working

Code:

BOOL GetChromePath( LPSTR lpPath )
{	
	LONG result;
	HKEY hKey;
	DWORD dwType; 
	char data[MAX_PATH];
	DWORD dataSize = MAX_PATH;

	result	= ::RegOpenKeyEx ( HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\App Paths\\chrome.exe", 0, KEY_QUERY_VALUE, &hKey );
	if (result == ERROR_SUCCESS) 
	{
		result = ::RegQueryValueEx ( hKey, "", NULL, &dwType, (unsigned char *)data, &dataSize );
		strcpy( lpPath, data );
		lpPath[lstrlen( lpPath )-1]	= '\0';
	}
	else
		return FALSE;

	RegCloseKey( hKey );
	return TRUE;
}

you will need to include the shlobj.h header file and link to the Shell32.lib library to use this function.
