I want more precision please about the first proposition, Does the third parameter take the name of application

launch internet explorer if i want to open an URL site from my application.
is it corect or not this instruction??

If IE is the default Web browser, you can simply use

ShellExecute(hwnd, NULL, "http:\\microsoft.com", NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL);

If not,

ShellExecute(hwnd, NULL, ""c:\\ProgramFiles\\iexplore", "http:\\microsoft.com", NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL);

Check out the documentation.
