\\\
using System.Diagnostics;
..
..
..
Dim psi As New ProcessStartInfo()
psi.UseShellExecute = True
psi.FileName = "http://www.mvps.org"
Process.Start(psi)
///

In order to send a mail, use something like "mailto:ba*@askjda.sad".

Thanks, is there anyway to pass parameters with this method call?

Parameters to what? The URL? Just add them to the URL like in a
webbrowser.
