Take a look at ShellExecute in the help file.

Hi @Weavertje, and welcome to the AutoIt forum
Sure we can!
To run a webpage, you could simply use _IECreate() function.

Global $objIE = _IECreate("www.google.com")

And you're done
You can then manage all the stuffs related to a webpage ( clicks, user forms, DOM objects ), with all the others _IE* functions.
Here you are your code slightly modified:

GUICtrlCreateLabel("....", 8, 112)
$time1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("Nothing Yet", 50, 108, 120)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Sex", 8, 146)
$male1 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Male", 50, 140, 120)

$female1 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox ("Female", 50, 160, 120)

$sendbutton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Send", 8, 200, 60)

$stopbutton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Stop", 78, 200, 60)

$resetbutton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Reset", 148, 200, 60)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

; This variable is used to see which messages the GUI send to the application
; ( click on a button, click on the Exit button, and so on... )
Global $intGUIMsg = 0

; Internet Explorer variable
Global $objIE



While 1
    $intGUIMsg = GUIGetMsg()

    Switch $intGUIMsg

        Case $sendbutton
            $objIE = _IECreate("www.google.com", 0, 1, 1, 1)
            If @error Then
                ConsoleWrite("Error while creating IE object. Error: " & @error & @CRLF)
            EndIf

        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch

    Sleep(10)
WEnd

By the way, I suggest you to use Koda to build your GUIs.
It's easier and faster.

Hope that helps

@Weavertje

Case $sendbutton             
    ShellExecute("chrome.exe www.google.com")

Play with it before ask
