Java Default browser name

Question

I want to check what default browser is set on computer (name in string). I googled somewhat and i know how to open browser, but i need to check what program will be opened then. How to do this?

I expect the method for determining the default browser is probably different for each operating system. What operating system are you interested in? — Kenster, Sep 27 '16 at 18:16

The information is in the windows registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Associations\UrlAssociations\http\UserChoice\Progid. You can read the key with Java.
