Maybe it works differently on different versions of Windows, but on my
Win98 SE here's what I got.
When I did this in the msg box:
put queryRegistry("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\command\")
I got this (the app path + launch params) in return:
"D:\OPERA\OPERA.EXE" /nowin /e
I found the 'user-friendly' app name with this:
put
queryRegistry("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\ddeexec\Application\"
)
It gave me this:
Opera
FWIW.
