When starting the default browser like this:
Dim trgt1 As String = "http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?t=612471"
pi.FileName = trgt1
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(pi)
It takes about 40 seconds to open the page.
If I do it like this, though this isn't the default browser
Dim trgt1 As String = "http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?t=612471"
pi.Arguments = trgt1
pi.FileName = "iexplore.exe" 'or firefox.exe
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(pi)
it opens immediately. Is this a bug or a feature? I have tried this with both IE and FireFox set to be the default browser.
