command line startup of IE

[Steve Buttner]

I teach Intro Programming using the Visual Basic language.
Several of my more ambitious students would like to use
objects in their VB programs to start up IE and point it
to a specific website. Does anyone know of command-line
switches that will do this?

Let them search for it they may learn something along the way.
