I tried to do the same and ran into problems with the second argument for win_api_environment.read_registry where you have to supply the name of the variabele to read. In my NT4 registry there is no real variable, there's only a '(Default)' visible in the registry editor.I fixed that by supplying an empty string like this:
l_browser_path := win_api_environment.read_registry ('HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CLASSES\htmlfile\shell\open\command','', TRUE); Does this help?
