Status: offline 		We are giving a client CDs for thier promotional use. I need to write a .vbs file or something that, when someone clicks on it, causes their default browser to open and load a url, like "http://www.CompanyName.com". This .vbs file is going to be on the CDs, so it has to be windows commands that will execute opening the url. Can anyone help?

Set WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

WSHSHell.run("http://www.yahoo.com")

This has the same effect in windows as START -> RUN -> http://www.yahoo.com

This will open up the site in whatever the users default browser is...and will probably return an error if they don't have any browser installed at all (rare, but I've seen it happen before).

Failure is not an option.....it comes bundled with the software.
