I am writing an application that allows users to connect to certain internet
sites. is there a way to automatically detect and then launch the default
internet service provider (i.e. america online).

You probably want to get to the dialer (assuming it is a dial up connection)
although if you launch the default browser it usually launches the dialer.
the problem is that the user will have to interact with it.
Any way you approach it you will have to search the registry,
find the dialer, (or default browser) and launch it.
I cant get you any closer than this since I have never tried it.

There is a VI that ships with LabVIEW called Open URL in Browser.vi. This VI
makes a call into the registry to determine the default browser for your OS.
You can find it in LabVIEW/Help/INTLINKS/_browser.llb. I hope this helps you
out.

I'm not sure if you want to use a browser or other TCP/IP operation -
I assume you are using a dial-up connection.
I have used the Win95 dialer with LabVIEW to open a connection, send
an email and then close the connection by using NetLaunch (a freeware
addon) that lets you specify which ISP to use (assuming you have
several) and disconnect with command-line switches. It provides for
retries and will insert password - it works in conjunction with the
dialer settings.
While it works, I'm not convinced it is robust. If you have users
looking at the screen it's not so bad - if it is totally remote and
automated some events could trip it up. I'd be interested to hear any
other solutions.
