thanks in advance to you helpful people ... sop.

iexplore "complete_URL_name"
make sure the URL name is typed between quotes [as shown above], expecially if URL name contains any spaces.
To use iexplore with command line params from within a DOS BATch file, make sure you use START /W if other commands follow, to make sure they execute in sequence, and that iexplore command completes before next one starts [example]:
start /w iexplore "http://www.msfn.org/board/"
