It need note that Windows 8 has two version of IE (it should say, one application but two entry for different mode)
-
Desktop IE
-
Metro IE
But it is very tricky, if you type “open http://Web” on desktop explorer will open “Metro IE”
When you try to use this command to open web side, please note metro browser will be default option, not desktop browser.
ShellExecute(NULL,TEXT(“open”), TEXT(“http://msdn.microsoft.com”), TEXT(“”),NULL,SW_SHOWNORMAL);
To specific using desktop browser, it should specific command on [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOThttpshellopencommand]
