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)
