Ok, so I need to write a very simple app and I thought I'd give it a go in C++. One of our old applications is being phased out and I'd like to write a small app that does nothing but open IE and send them to a specific URL and then close it.

And I'll just place this C++ app in the same place as the EXE that launches the old app.

So my C++ skills are damn near nonexistent and my C knowledge has severly eroded, so can someone give me a jumpstart on how to open IE?

I could do this in about 2 seconds in VB, but I'm trying to branch out. I looked through the FAQ real quick but didn't see anything that would help me.
