    Depends on what you want to do with it. If you just want to start the explorer: 
    shell('C:\windows\explorer.exe');
    if c:\windows is the path to your windows directory.

    Also if you want to open a website use hyperlink
    hyperlink('www.google.com');

    Just adding a little to what was said above; If you include the executable path in a text constant and then use SHELL(yourtextconstant) instead, then the user won't have to confirm that whatever program is executed is a trusted source.

    Hyperlink can also open files in the program that's setup for the particular extension.

    HYPERLINK('c:\test.xls') opens text.xls in Excel (or another spreadsheet-program which can open .xsl).
