The first one works (getting the homepage URL). The problem is that the second query, looking for kICNTPHost, returns with an error -666 (unknown key),

That's because the key hasn't been set up. The key is valid: you can set it up yourself if you need it, and other apps will find the result. However, by default Mac OS X does not include a value for this key.

and the third one I just don't know how to phrase it.

There are two problems here.

1. When you supply the key, you must append the URL scheme that you're looking for. In this case, you want kICHelper "http".

2. The value of the kICHelper keys are of type ICAppSpec. This structure contains a creator code and a name. The creator code is definitive. The name is just there so you can display something meaningful if the application is missing.

btw IC documentation and sample code is available from the IC web site.
