'firefox.exe http://www.google.com'  did not work at my command prompt so I
edited the path to include firefox and rebooted.  It then worked.  Just for
kicks I tried 'explorer.exe http://www.google.com' knowing that it wouldn't
work because my firewall is set to not allow IE to see the light of day but
it did work.  Those sneaky MS employees.  During the MS trial with the
justice department, a computer scientist testified that IE could be removed
from windowsOS, not just temporarily hidden, and he demonstrated it.  Does
anyone know how to permanently remove or disable IE and force the default
browser to be selected?

Interesting.  It must be how you have Firefox installed/configured on your
machine because on my WinXP Pro laptop with Firefox installed, using that
Firefox code in DoShellCommand did nothing and using that Firefox code in
the Windows Command Prompt returned an error.  Hmm...
