you really dont need to use " SHDocVw.InternetExplorer " to open a new internet explorer window. take a look at the " System.Diagnostics.Process " , eg:
VB Code:
  1. System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("IEXPLORE.EXE", "http://www.microsoft.com")
  2. [COLOR=green]'/// this will open a new instance of internet explorer and navigate to [url]http://www.microsoft.com[/url][/COLOR]
