Launches an external web browser and navigates to the URL provided.

Possible Exploits?

As in 1.8.4(or earlier ) It also seams to work to navigate to "www.wow-europe.com/wow.php/argument/variabel".
You can't use numbers in the string only aplhabetic charaters , "/" and "-".
It also open the webpage in your default browser. Not only MSIE.
This can be use to communicate with other programs.
Just create a program and register it as the default browser.
