"c:\program files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe www.yoururlhere.com"
works. Have you tried that yet?

I have found this doc for VB but the following command returns a -1 from IE
apparently. any helpful ideas on why this won't work?
key = system_exec ("d:\\Microsoft Internet\\IExplorer.exe
D:\\euphoria\\ACUdata\\DUMP.HTM",0)
Private Sub StartWithArguments() 'Declare and instantiate a new process
component. Dim myproc As System.Diagnostics.Process myproc = New
System.Diagnostics.Process 'Do not receive an event when the process exits.
myproc.EnableRaisingEvents = False 'Start Internet Explorer, passing in a
web page. myproc.Start("IExplore.exe", "http://www.microsoft.com") End Sub

Well, I can see two things:
1) The path is wrong. d:\Microsoft Internet isn't it, most likely, unless
you did some kind of custom install.
2) The executable name is also wrong. Iexplorer.exe is NOT the name of the
executable, it is Iexplore.exe.
I suggest you run a search on your system for iexplore.exe, which will give
you the full and correct pathname.

Here is one such wrapper. You could make this more generic than it is.
--ShellExecute(
-- HWND hwnd,
-- LPCTSTR lpOperation,
-- LPCTSTR lpFile,
-- LPCTSTR lpParameters,
-- LPCTSTR lpDirectory,
-- INT nShowCmd
xShellExecute = define_c_func(shell32_dll, "ShellExecuteA",
{C_LONG, C_LONG, C_LONG, C_LONG, C_LONG, C_INT}, C_LONG)
global function ShellExecute(atom hw, sequence op, sequence pgm, sequence arg,
object isdir, integer sw)
atom ppgm, parg, pdir, inst
ppgm = allocate_string(pgm)
parg = allocate_string(arg)
if not integer isdir then
pdir = allocate_string(isdir)
end if
inst = c_func(xShellExecute, {hw, op, ppgm, parg, pdir, sw})
free(ppgm)
free(parg)
return inst
end function
<example:>
object junk
junk = ShellExecute(handle, "open", file, NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL)

I use this program to open all programs I use for internet:
without warning
include win32lib.ew
integer SimpleWin
procedure open_file (sequence file)
shellExecute ("", file, SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED)
end procedure
procedure open_dir (sequence dir_path)
shellExecute ("explore", dir_path, SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED)
end procedure
procedure onOpen_SimpleWin ()
open_file ("C:\\Program Files\\Internet Explorer\\IEXPLORE.EXE")
open_file ("C:\\Program Files\\Outlook Express\\msimn.exe")
open_file ("C:\\Program Files\\GetRight\\getright.exe")
shellExecute ("", "C:\\Program Files\\intertel\\InterTel.exe",
SW_SHOWNORMAL)
open_dir ("C:\\Downloaded\\new downloaded")
w32Proc( xPostQuitMessage, { 0 } )
end procedure
SimpleWin = create( Window, "Executing", 0, 0, 0, 200, 100, 0 )
onOpen [SimpleWin] = routine_id ("onOpen_SimpleWin")
WinMain( SimpleWin, Normal )
