Open external program

[Ryan]

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("http://www.yahoo.com")

This code works fine in VB.NET using Windows XP it opens
up the default Internet Browser but when I use Windows
2000 with this code it pops up an error Message "The
system cannot find the file specified" My Windows 2000 OS
has same browser as the XP but I think with diff version.
Is there any other way to open my default internet browser
throught VB.NET code with web site parameter same as above?
