Preferences class and HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT?

843829Oct 29 2005 — edited Dec 14 2006
I'm trying to use the Preferences class found in java1.4. I can create and retrieve keys that I have created, but how do I access the system registries? I'm on windows2k.

For example, if I wanted to get the path of the Internet Explorer, in regedit it can be found in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\applications\iexplore.exe\shell\open\command. But I cant get the preferences to point there, it always starts under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/JavaSoft/Prefs
