Hi all,

I want to launch default browser in a new browser window by using the code below:

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

call ShellExecute(0&, "open", "www.google.de", vbNullString, vbNullString, SW_SHOWNORMAL)

But if there are browser windows opened, this code does not open a new browser window. The current open window is used. Does anybody know how to open a new browser window to launch default browser?

Thanks in advance,
Haiying

In 'internet options" under teh advanced tab, there is an option labeled "reuse browser window for launching shortcuts". if checked, it appears to load in the same window. This might be an application setting that is not overridable from your external code...
