   Finding a path to a program

   Hello,   
      
   My problem:   
   In a VB6-program I would like to find the path to the program associated   
   to a given extension.  E.g. given the extension *.doc I would like to   
   find the path to winword.exe (on a single computer, not in a network).   
   The necessary information can be found in the registry.  But how to   
   extract it easily?  Is there some utility available or do I have to   
   program the whole process?   
      
   Thanks in advance for your information,   
      
   Ivan
