(Psst. It goes to the registry, finds out what server is associated with it in the registry for the requested operation, fires up an instance and hands off the doc reference. It's exactly the same expense to instance InternetExplorer.Application and set properties and methods as ShellExecute(), because the only difference is that you've explicitly decided which server to fire and what doc and operations to hand off rather than doing it implicitly through the registry association. With the added advantage in the use of the WebBrowser control of explicit programmatic control and encapsulation in a form, and the ability to participate in the event loop.)
