Start vs Shell

[Bchemist]

Can anybody tell the the advantages of using

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("

http://www.google.com")

vs

Shell("cmd /c ""start

http://www.google.com""")

to start a browser. Obviously from a customer end, it looks cleaner to use the start since you don't get the extra cmd window pop up and then go away. But what I am wondering is whether one is more robust for the end user considering the variety of configurations end users can have?

I'm not sure if cmd will work on Windows 95/98 (I think they used "Command").

And now I feel guilty because I'm the one who wrote that FAQ. heh, guess it needs an update.
