You don't need a start.exe

It is an part of the shell just like dir

At least with Windows XP, you don't have those property options when modifying a url shortcut.

True. The command line option still works. You could create a shortcut to a batch file that contains the following line:

start /max http://www.cnn.com

This will open your default browser to the site already maximized.

The - shortcut to a batch file - idea works great with XP ...
The first line of the batch file should be:
@echo off
The shortcut to the batch file should run minimized so the dos screen doesn't pop up.
It really works well ... faster than opening IE and selecting favorites.
Thanks for the help,
