Probably not, assuming that prior posts from this person are an indication.

There have been at least two and I think three questions from this person
for which the answer included use of the InternetExplorer object. Probably
Husam needs to use that instead and if so then Husam needs to read the
documentation.

However I think you are correct that if InternetOpenUrl can be used then
probably ShellExecute can be used and would be much easier.
