Use the forum's search feature and search for "Default Browser". The information is there as this has been covered before...

Hope this helps,

Thanks, Guys, for all your replies. I have finally used:

RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & "start http://www.blablabla.com", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE).

This is doing the job, but when there is a URL such as: www.blabla&bla, it doesn't work. I still wanna use Comspec. Any idea how to overcome this limitation?

$Url = "http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?"

RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c start " & $Url)

? I'm not sure what you mean by www.blablabla.com, do you mean it doesnt work when it doesnt have "http://" infront of it?

[MSLx Fanboy]

I don't believe it will work without the "http://" because it doesn't know what protocol is going to be used, which means it doesn't know the default app to use, since it doesn't know the protocol...

[buzz44]

Well I just used my above example without the "http://" and it works fine.

i think you can RunWait("http://xxxx") directly

[w0uter]

run can only run like .exe .bat .cmd and so on

To those who may still look for solution)
You must escape "&" with "^" char.
 

RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & "start http://www.blablabla^&bla.com", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)

There is no & in the URL so have no idea what you are on about 18 years after this topic was created?

Care to explain?
