That does work, but I am trying to force images to open in internet explorer
from a file system location. For example, if the path to the image is
"c:\work\image.jpg", I want the image to open in internet explorer when I
click the button.

Have for that a look to the Internet Explorer Object Navigate2, (not the
webbrowser).

I thought you could do it with that

I thought it was not so difficult but here you have the code
\\\
'set a reference to the microsoft internet controls

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs _
) Handles Button1.Click
Dim ie As SHDocVw.InternetExplorer _
= New SHDocVw.InternetExplorer
ie.Visible = True
ie.Navigate2("c:\stewart.gif")
////

Was this what you did want to do?

Thanks. Notice that I don't claim this code to be my intellectual
property.
