hhmm well i may not be getting ur question but uhh what about somethin like

(this uses the IE.au3 udf library by DaleHolm)

#include <IE.au3>
While 1
hotkeyset("g","go")
WEnd
func go()
$var = _IECreate()
_IENavigate($var, "www.autoitscript.com")
endfunc

--hope this helps

that is one way to do it, another would be:

$var = "http://autoitscript.com"
run("C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe " & $var)

this would work if you just want to load a page and have the user take over. if you want to control the page with your script, definitely get ie.au3, and use the solution already provided.
