  public BStarter() {
    try {
      startExecutable(
          "C:\\Program Files\\Internet Explorer\\IEXPLORE.EXE http://www.db.no");
    }
    catch (IOException ex) { // oops
      ex.printStackTrace();
    }
  }

  private void startExecutable(String cmdStr) throws IOException {
    Runtime rt=Runtime.getRuntime();
    rt.exec(cmdStr);
  }
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    BStarter b = new BStarter();
