  If your are MorphX programmer, you can watch the code on the place, where the IE is called.
  For example Contacts.

  Hi,
  
  See whether this helps. -
  
  static void IExplore(Args _args)
  {
  #WINAPI
  ;
  
  WINAPI::shellExecute(C:\\WINDOWS\\ServicePackFiles\\i386\\iexplore.exe');
  }

  Hi,
  
  You can use WinAPI::ShellExecute() again. Like -
  
  static void IExplore(Args _args)
  {
  #winAPI
  ;
  
  winAPI::shellExecute('C:\\WINDOWS\\ServicePackFiles\\i386\\iexplore.exe','http://www.mibuso.com');
  }

  Hi!
  
  I always use this format:
  

  winAPI::shellExecute('http://www.mibuso.com');
  

  
  My reason behind this is simply because this allows the shell to work out how it's going to deal with the URL, rather than passing it to a program. For example, if the path to iexplore changes, or if the user has a different browser installed. This keeps your code fairly "future proof" and lowers code maintenance.
  
  Cheers!
