I have a web site that I plan to put onto CD, i.e. use it locally. The site uses activeX controls hence it is no good for me to use Firefox (as far as I know there are no activeX controls for firefox). However since Firefox is my default browser, I was wondering if there was a coding way (C++, JavaScript, anything) to open this particular web page in IE.

I've been attempting to write C++ code to do this. So far I can open IE with:

system("\"\"C:\\Program Files\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore.exe\"\"");

I believe ShellExecute can be used to open web pages via the Default Browser (I haven't found any tags where I can choose a browser).

Anyone have a clue?
