Can anyone tell me where in the Registry I might find the locations for:

Internet Explorer
Windows Explorer
Outlook Express or other standard e-mail client

Would be most appreciated.

It will vary depending on the version and what specific info you are looking
for. As a WAG I'd venture that the FindExecutable API call may be at least
part of what you need to use.

land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. -- RFC 1925

Are you sure you have to use the registry, or are you just assuming you
must?
