[h-e-w] w32-shell-execute for IE? |

I'm extending the browse-url function I use so that it can select a specific
browser
to use based on the URL. (While I prefer Firefox, unfortunately there are many
sites
which use IE specific features or incorrect HTML which renders OK in IE but not
in Firefox.)
I use
(w32-shell-execute "open" url)
to open a URL via my "default" URL protocol handler (Firefox).
I can launch IE via
(defvar win32-internet-explorer "C:\\Program Files\\Internet
Explorer\\IEXPLORE.EXE"
"*Location of Internet Explorer")
...
(start-process "Internet Explorer" nil win32-internet-explorer url))
but I'd like to know if there is a shell command to open a URL (via DDE) if
IE is already running, that is, is there something like
(w32-shell-execute "open-in-ie" url)
that I can use even though my default browser if Firefox?
(btw, I have the IE Browse extension for Firefox, but it's not perfect.)
thanks
