Jeroen, Based on your sample code snipit, System.Diagnostics.Process.Start (@"c:\mypage.html");, just remeber that good old IE will take "C:\mypage.html#anchorName" in the Process.StartInfo.Arguments property. But if your lauching those other browsers like Mozilla you cannot. If you are attemping to launch a local file you should use the file:// sytax, "file://C:/mypage.html#anchorName". Also, your original problem would have been solved had you coded, System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(@"file://c:/mypage.html#anchorName");. But like Joakim indicated, you don't want to shell to the file directly because you could get an HTML editor.
