C/SIDE does not check the syntax or validity of the URL that is passed on to the browser. You can even pass an empty string (this will usually start the browser and load the URL that the user has defined as the home page.)

C/SIDE determines the default Internet browser based on the setting in the system registry. If the browser is already running, this instance will be reused.
