Hi, I need to find on the client browser(IE or Netscape Navigator) what is the application associated with a particular file type. Only then do I redirect the user to download that file. For example, suppose the file is of type *.xyz Now I will let the user go to the link only if the file *.xyz is associated with a particular program, say abc.exe. How can I find what program is *.xyz associated with and what is the location on the disk of that program file, so that I can check out if abc.exe is present or not. I tried to find a way to read registry earlier from applets but it seems the only way to read registry from a java applet is to JNI interface it with some DLL which the client does not want in my case. The java applet should be able to do the check by itself and not install anything (dll/activex) on the user's machine. Thanks in advance for any help you guys can give me.
