    How do I open the default browser?

    How do I open the default browser using code in vb?

    I presume I would have to use Shell(), but I dont know how to retrieve the location of the default browser.

    Any ideas?

    Read up on the Process class and Process.StartInfo structure. It'll do what you want if you pass a URL as the filename member and "open" as the verb.
