Run A Url?

[Bert]

I have a url that I want ran if the user does something. I want to allow for the user to have either IE or Firefox, or what ever web browser they choose to have as their default. I tried Run("AutoIt Forums.url",""), but of course it didn't work. Yes, that is the URL I want to goto when they click the button. Its for the SciTE toolbar. I wanted to have a button that would open a web browser to the forum. It will be part of the options GUI I'm making for it.

I use this one, but there are others:

$Url = "http://AutoItScript.com"
DllCall("shell32.dll", "long", "ShellExecute", "hwnd", 0, "string", 'open', "string", $Url, "string", '', "string", @ScriptDir, "long", @SW_SHOWNORMAL)

I've about finished the options menu so you can pick and choose what buttons you want. I will add yours in, and I like your URL thing. Thanks Val.
