Opening files listed in filelistbox

[Asprisa]

Hi There,

This is probably an easy one! i am having trouble opening the files listed in a filelistbox, they are all .url files, all i want them to do is open up in the default browser, i looked around and played with a shell command but all that did is open my home page not the .url i was actually clicking on, any ideas??

any help is much appriciated!

Jay!!

yeap, i dont know why the shell command have some troubles with some browsers, however, you can always create an object with an internet explorer in it and open the page you want. something like this should do:

dim Obj1 as object
set obj1=createobject("internetexplorer.application")
obj1.navigate("http://www.thescripts.com")
obj1.visible=true
