Running http:// without calling the program

[Agent Orange]

Is there a way to launch a website url within an Autoit script but not call the .exe for the browser?

I'd like it to be set so the script will launch whatever the users default web browser is. So if it is Firefox....Firefox will be used to run to display the site....if IE is the default, IE will be used. It works using the Run command but only when I hard code in the exe. Example:

Run("C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" & " http://www.microsoft.com")

Is this possible?

The easiest way to do this in the newest betas is to use ShellExecute :

ShellExecute("http://www.google.com")

maybe...

$web_loc = "http://www.autoitscript.com"
 Run(@ComSpec & " /c Start " & $web_loc, "", @SW_HIDE)
