If you're using win32lib, you could use ShellExecute[Ex] (you could use them
if you're not using win32lib, but you'd have to wrap them):
ShellExecute( "explore", "http://www.microsoft.com", SW_SHOWNORMAL)
You could also try:
ShellExecuteEx( "open", "iexplore.exe", "http://www.microsoft.com", "",
SW_SHOWNORMAL, 0)

2. RE: shell to MS explorer
I finally figured this out. you should run this
system("start iexplore http://www.rapideuphoria.com/", 0)
^^ this is what was missing
I think you need to use start because it is a Win32 app and system() and
system_exec() use a DOS call which needs start to call Win312 apps.
