The way I do it here is to run IE's .exe with the URL in a Run Process. "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" http:\\google.com This opens the URL in a new window. Stephen

Now you can control how this will open. This might be a solution if you only want them to be on one site and the drawback is that there is no navigation available (back button and stuff like that).

They have a mix of browsers, including Internet Explorer and Opera in assorted versions. They are all using Windows 2000, XP, or 2003. I am looking to create an Active Link which will open a specific URL in the user's default browser, in a new Window. I've tried the following Run Processes: A) PERFORM-ACTION-OPEN-URL new http://$URL$ B) cmd /c start http://$URL$ C) rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler http://$URL$ D) explorer "http://$URL$"; The problem I run into is within Internet Explorer. There is a setting under Options \ Advanced for Reuse windows for launching shortcuts. This is checked by default. If it is checked, options A - C all open in an existing browser window if one exists. Option D does work, but it open the new window behind the WUT. I've Googled the heck out of this, and have not found any real good answer. Does anyone have a way to force remedy to open a specific URL from within Remedy, by opening a new window in the user's default browser?
