You may lookup the documentation of the specified browser though. Maybe you find a version string somewhere in the registry under the key of the browser.

You may also look in these registry keys for the default browser

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.htm
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.html
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\command
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\ddeexec\Application
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ftp\shell\open\command
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ftp\shell\open\ddeexec\Application

or by calling FindExecutable (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/shellcc/platform/shell/reference/functions/findexecutable.asp) for existing .htm or .html file.
