program to open IE

Hi,

im new to programming. I was just wondering if anyone can help me code a simple program that opens up a few instances of internet explorer when i type a certain symbol (of a stock) in to a text box

For example, if the symbol of a stock is 'msft' , i want to be able to type that into a text box, press a button, and 5-6 different sites would open up.

one site would be: http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=msft

second would be:http://www.stockhouse.com/comp_info....SFT&table=LIST

and so on.

Since each site has a reference to the symbol that was entered in the text box, i guess all i have to do is create a variable that stores the name of the symbol, then inserts it into wherever the variable is called?

oh and I have access to visual studio 2005.


Thanks in advance for any help

PS: can anyone recommend any good books to learn C#?
This is not hw help btw :)

Check the Process class.
