Hi,

        Try this instead.

Process.Start(www.yahoo.com)

I am using the following code to open an instance of Internet Explorer with
a
specific URL.

Dim Argument_String as String = "www.yahoo.com"
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:\Program Files\Internet
Explorer\iexplore.exe", Argument_String)

If I have the new XP SP2 IE pop-up blocker enabled the browser does not come
up at all, if I disable it it "pops-up" just fine. If I put, for example,
www.yahoo.com in the list of sites to not block pop-ups for it has no effect
and is still blocked.

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

TIA...
