If so I could just try running some of the common browsing applications, like Nautilus. Wine happily launches Linux app's. I can launch nautilus by double clicking in winefile. Wine must be able to find it, so it must be on a simulated dos drive ( the default Z: is enough) and if you don't want to hard code the path add it to the Wine PATH. I am not sure, but ShellExecute may not like an executable without a (known) extension (.exe, .com etc) and start looking for nautilus.exe or so.
