Create a new website url shortcut file. Open that file using
Process.Start()method

so, example - Process.Start(C:\Documents and Settings\stc12191\My Documents) is that right :s i saved a webpage in my documents, so if i use the code: Process.Start(C:\Documents and Settings\stc12191\My Documents) will that open the web page :) thanks

No. 1 - you didn't put the string in quotes 2 - if you have 20 web pages in this folder, how would you expect windows to just pick one, or even know you wanted to open a web page ? Process.Start starts a program, and if you give it a file, it tries to open it with the default program. So, if you put the name of the htm file at the end of that path, that will work.

So long as google is the name of a html file, and so long as IE can work that out without the file extension being present.

C# reversed the code for me....now it says 'System.Diagnoatics.Process' and recognises this. After this i put....'.("C:");' now it says.....Identifier expected and higlights the '('

Hello, The compiler doesn't know which Process class you mean. You could set a using statement at the top of your class (under "using System;"), or use the full qualified name instead (System.Diagnostics.Process)
All the best, Martin
