I'd like to just have the OS read a .url file, and do the right thing.
Any ideas?

I can't seem to figure out how to launch a page or URL in the default browser. It looks like LaunchApp() isn't a real command shell, as it doesn't honour file-type associations.

Whoops, I just found "Q101171" that helps. Looks like I have to get the filetype out of the registry, and launch that with the right args.
Feel free to offer your own opinions, solution.

I think there's a script here in the samples section to display any document in the associated application by calling ShellExecute. With that API you don't have to read and parse the registry entries yourself.
