Why are you asking this question on a Flash Game forum?

unless this was moved to general programming its in the correct section

edit: you said you tried shells try once again with this code =)

Code:
Shell "C:\program files\internet explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE"


and if you would like to start a specific website then

Code:
Shell "C:\program files\internet explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE http://www.runescape.com"

Why don't you open the user's default browser instead?

Use ShellExecute instead, it will open the users default browser instead of staticly coding it to open IE the way you guys are currently setting it up.

Code:
Private Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As String, ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long
Private Const SW_SHOWNORMAL = 1
Private Sub Form_Load()
    ShellExecute Me.hwnd, "open", "http://www.google.com", vbNullString, vbNullString, SW_SHOWNORMAL
End Sub

Again, statically coding something like this will not work for everyone.

Not everyone uses 'C' as their main drive that holds windows. And, you can also rename the program files folder to anything.

Shell "explorer http://www.google.com", vbNormalFocus

He didn't miss anything. The window style is an optional param for the Shell function:



And to let you know, vbNormalFocus isn't the only thing that can be passed as the param in that spot. (Theres a total of 6 different styles that can be passed.)

yeah dude, if you leave it optionally unfilled, it's vbMinimizedFocus, exactly how the starter observed as "tryed shells put it always comes up at my taskbar. then i have to click on it to see it". So if he just changes from default vbMinimizedFocus to explicit vbNormalFocus then his problem won't happen no?
