You can use the following to open the Microsoft site in the default browser.
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("http://www.microsoft.com")

Something simple like this works too - you were on the right track -
just need to provide the URL and the start page too.

Shell("C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE http://www.google.com")

Dear all,

I have try to pass the complete URl but it works with the process.start way,
But still one question .

If I already have an open page, is there a way to tell my process to display
my default site on a new page ?

In a similar way as you click two time on explorer

thnaks for our help
