Internet Application Script

[vgamemaster]

A little while ago I asked for a script that would pull up a webpage when the script is called. I have done that successfully and I am pretty happy with it.
The script is below.

#==============================================================================
# ** TDS call module
#==============================================================================

module TDS_call
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Call web site
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def self.call_site
    # Opens Web site
     Thread.start{system("C:/Program Files/Internet Explorer/iexplore.exe", 
     "http://www.moellermultimedia.com/MMM/BakkenScorePostForm.htm")}  
  end
end

Now the only problem with this script is, is that it only calls the website if you have the application internet explorer saved to this directory: C:/Program Files/Internet Explorer/iexplore.exe

Everybody doesn't have this saved to this directory which is a problem. I was wondering if there is any way to insert a script into here that would automatically search and find your internet application and activate it so it pulls the a page of my choice.

All help is appreciated!!! If any clarification is needed on what I am request please post and I will try to make myself more clear.

I wish anyone knows if by entering something like %system% or any other value, it would allow people to open the browser without altering the script.

not sure this can help but if you were to let free downloads or something maybe make the installer automatically extract ie to that directory?

what if I uninstalled IE and open Firefox every single time I need to open a website?

Just remember you would need to copy and paste that script and the Aleworks Library.
