Not sure how this would work otherwise, but I did this on may machine and it worked.
`start iexplore.exe http://www.activestate.com` use backticks to call the "start" command in the command shell, then pass an explicite exe name followed by the arguments. I tried it without the iexplore.exe and it only opened the window. I believe this is something that is wrong my machine since the same thing happens when I click on a link within Outlook. Therefore, If you just put `start http://www.myurl.com`; I might actually work the way you want it.
