Frans, Fortunately, the System.Diagnostics.Process.Start()-method has an overload that allows the specification of both an executable and its parameter(s), so I can dig up the defaultbrowser from the registry (through HKCR/http/shell/command/open), trim off its parameters (like the "-nohome" my iexplore.exe has there) and put the file:// link with anchor in the parameter argument (or should that be argument parameter? :))

I was thinking of some big start page with javascript, but if everything past the extension is stripped off, you can't pass anything to that page anyway...
