html files aren't executed, they're rendered.

Essentially, given an html renderer (and ActiveX in Windows as an example), then all such display is the act of loading the html in memory and rendering it, which in turn may cause the loading of resources, like images, or the execution of scripts, etc.

There are numerous methods to do that, but a lot depends on your chosen framework and the compliance requirements (html has many versions and tributaries that require various levels of support from the renderer).

If you program in VS2008 using Forms, there is a WebBrowser control that you can drag and drop onto your form. You don't even have to load the webpage yourself-- just provide the WebBrowser object with the address.
