Please show to us some code so we can help you.

Look at the Run command, that will do what you're looking for.

Chrome is more secure that other web browsers. Can you do this manually with Chrome now?

[Nessie]

If you want to launch a specific browser you can do it with my In this way you can check if a specific browser is installed, which version is installed on the system and where is located. Here is an example for launch chrome:

#include <NavInfo.au3>

$Is_Chrome = _NavInfo_IsChromeInstalled()

If Not $Is_Chrome Then
    MsgBox(16, "Error", "Chrome is not installed on this system.")
    Exit
EndIf

$Chrome_Location = _NavInfo_GetChromeLocation()

ConsoleWrite($Chrome_Location & @CRLF) ;Debug Only

Run($Chrome_Location)
