Are you working on a web browser? Otherwise, look up SheelExecute() at MSDN.

Under windows:

char* urlStr = "http://www.addr.com";

ShellExecute(Handle, "open", urlStr, NULL, NULL, SW_MAXIMIZE);

Where:

The ShellExecute function opens or prints a specified file. The file can be an executable file or a document file. See ShellExecuteEx also.

HINSTANCE ShellExecute(

HWND hwnd, // handle to parent window
LPCTSTR lpOperation, // pointer to string that specifies operation to perform
LPCTSTR lpFile, // pointer to filename or folder name string
LPCTSTR lpParameters, // pointer to string that specifies executable-file parameters
LPCTSTR lpDirectory, // pointer to string that specifies default directory
INT nShowCmd // whether file is shown when opened
);
