Launch IE 7

[bat711]

Does anyone know if IE 7 uses the same shell command to open IE to a specific website like:

iexplore.exe www.yahoo.com


Thanks

It's called an argument. Almoast every app works like this - "App.exe file". It has to be in it's main method/function. Try. Otherview, you can use this function, which calls default browser and opens a webpage:

Private Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As String, ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long
Public Function HyperJump(ByVal URL As String) As Long
HyperJump = ShellExecute(0&, vbNullString, URL, vbNullString, vbNullString, vbNormalFocus)
End Function
 
'usage HyperJump "http://www.google.com

Yeah I'm aware of that, I'm wondering if it has changed from version 6 to version 7. I can't install it to test it on this PC, so if someone else has can you test it out.

I just want to make sure if I shell "iexplore.exe www.yahoo.com" it is going to work on the new version of IE.

Shell "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe yahoo.com", vbNormalFocus

I think i works. There's a huge doubt in my mind that this would be changed. If it actually would be, i'm quite sure that Microsoft would anounce that.

edit: BTW... this is a "standard" agreement. Like > on all systems (Windows, Unix, Max...) means transfer to the standard output and < transfer to the standard input.
