I saw no point in uploading a one liner so here is how you open other programs from your delphi program. In the uses make sure you add ShellAPI. The folllowing lines opens up notepad
ShellExecute(Handle, 'Open', 'notepad', nil, nil, SW_SHOW);

To open the broswer and to go to a specific page use the following line.
ShellExecute(Handle, 'Open', 'www.somesite.com', nil, nil, SW_SHOW);
Rate this superb article :P
