[GD-Windows] Opening a browser window

[Brian H. <bri...@py...>]

Right now I'm opening a browser window using:

    ShellExecute( NULL, 
                  "open", 
                  "http://www.pyrogon.com", 
                  NULL, 
                  NULL, 
                  0 );

This works fine, however it has a notable problem in that it usurps
existing open browser windows.  While annoying, it's also really bad
when you accidentally take over a pop up ad which may have a reduced set
of functionality (no scroll bars, no resizing) and which may also be
instinctively closed without realizing that it's no longer a popup ad.

I'd like to be able to force open a new browser window altogether
without having to know the name of the app they use for their browsers.
I suppose that in the worst case I could query what app they use for
file type URL and then use that...but damn, that seems nasty.  Is there
a simpler way?
