Not hard coding the iexplorer path

Hi

I was looking around and saw this piece of code posted by Cotton.m:

publicclass IETest{

publicfinalstatic String browserPath ="C:\\Program Files\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore.exe";

publicstaticvoid main(String args[])throws Exception{

String[] urls ={"http://forum.java.sun.com","http://www.cnn.com","http://www.google.com"};

for(int i=0;i<urls.length;i++){

launchPage(urls[i]);

}

}

publicstaticvoid launchPage(String pageName)throws Exception{

String[] launchPath =new String[2];

launchPath[0] = browserPath;

launchPath[1] = pageName;

Runtime.getRuntime().exec(launchPath);

}

}

Does anyone know how to not hardcode the browserPath? or is that impossible... I'm doing something similar but I open files... is there a way that I don't need to hard code the path name? or am i asking too much?

Cheers>
