The problem with 'start iexplore' is that it forces the use of Internet
Explorer. If a user specifies a different default browser, PLEASE don't

force them to use IE anyway!

Another problem with this technique is that it uses the "start" command,

which will force a DOS window to open. This doesn't hurt anything, but
it's a bit of an eyesore.

PLEASE consider using the ShellExec_RunDLL and/or FileProtocolHandler
examples that Julius Michael Smith and Rajesh Kumar have suggested in
this thread. They are vastly superior techniques than using the 'start'

command. At least TRY them.
