    C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe

    i used a webbrowser control to do it... but it says save open cancel.. and i just want it to bypass that and just open it no matter what

    Do you want to SHELL Fx? I don't understand what you want to do. Why would you use a web browser to open a web browser?

    are you trying to open the program? if so use a shell statment

    ex. shell "c:/Program files/Mozilla/Firefox.exe"

    Why do you need this? Maybe it would be better to open the default browser... Maybe Firefox isn't installed?
