launch url

[Shari]

This is getting weird.  After trying all sorts of things on the 
Windows machine, I figured I'd compile it with my previous MC version 
2.8.1 and go back to the old code that I know works.   But even that 
failed to fix it.

So even with the old code that used to work flawlessly, and the 
previous version of MC which also worked flawlessly before, 
attempting to launch an url failed.  I swear it worked before.  I 
always test that before final release.

I'm wondering if there was some sort of Windows update that broke it? 
The WinMachine belongs to my fella, so I'll have to ask him.  Windows 
is always putting out patches and so forth, I've no doubt that at 
least some of them have been installed since my previous release.

I can go to the internet outside of MC just fine.  I can open IE and 
type in an address and it goes there, so the internet itself is 
working.

I had it run thru several attempts to go to an URL, everytime 
checking the result, and if the result was not empty, it would try 
another method.  I had it "answer the result" so I could see what 
results it was getting.  I got three different results from three 
different methods of going to an URL:

Can't open file
1
Process already open (I guess after it failed the first attempt, the 
process got locked open, so it didn't try the others?)
