Problem with Windows XP SP2 and VB.Net code

[Guest]

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...

Are you sure? I didn't have any problem opening up an IE window with
www.yahoo.com as the argument with the IE Pop-up blocker set to the highest
level of blocking (block all; Ctrl to override) and no websites in the
'allowed sites' list.

Hi,

Try this instead.

Process.Start(www.yahoo.com)

That worked perfectly, thank you so much.

You could uncheck the 'Reuse Windows for Launching Shortcuts' on the
Advanced tab in Internet Explorer Options.
