How do you greet someone?

Have you ever met someone new and not known how to greet them? When I first meet someone I don't know if I am supposed to shake their hand or just smile and say "nice to meet you". How do you greet someone you have never met before? What if you know the person, do you greet them differently?

If I am meeting someone job related for the first time, I usually extend my hand and say "nice to meet you, My name is Michele" If it is a social situation I usually just smile and say "nice to meet you" as usually there is someone there doing the indroductions anyway.
