I like Pathfinder for many reasons ;o that works for me.

.net 4.0 framework is a freebie download from microsoft (used by a variety of packages). Available here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=17718


In Vb.net to open web pages (or any other file!) I'm using
process.start (strFilename) which sends the command to your existing system so it opens with whatever the default application is (in the case of a .url would be a browser) or in the case of pdf etc would be whatever viewer you use.

Likewise with explore from here etc, I'm using process.start ("Explorer",strFullpath)
