Open website from batchfile

[ZileXa]

I'd like to know if it is possible to open a link from a batchfile, without calling the webbrowser..

So NOT like this:

"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" http://www.msfn.org

Because then the batchfile would open IE. I want it to open the Default internetbrowser.. that could be IE, but could also be Firefox or Opera or whatever..

I'm not sure if it is possible though..

  >%TEMP%\_.url (ECHO/[InternetShortcut] &ECHO/URL=http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/) &%TEMP%\_.url &&del %TEMP%\_.url

It should be on one line, any line(s) not beginning with two spaced has wrapped.

Notice how my line has no quotes in it.

The VBS script way

CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run("Http://www.msfn.org")

This opens IE as that is the only browser I use, so I do not know if it will work with other browers.
