How much help do you want? The answer is right there in the first reply. Go use it.

The answer is in the first reply, but I'll just write it here too.

This will open the URL in the default web browser.

void OpenWebsite (char * cpURL)
{
      ShellExecute (NULL, "open", cpURL, NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL);
}

Or:

#define OpenWebsite(a) ShellExecute(NULL,"open",a,NULL,NULL,SW_SHOWNORMAL);

Both of those should work.
