I have an erlang program which runs a server on a local machine and I would like it to start a local web browser and point to itself on startup. How can I do this in a portable way across Windows XP. Vista, and Windows 7?

I would suggest to use the following code on windows systems:
This has two advantages:
1) No need for the right path of the
browser.
2) Works even if someone doesn’t use
IE.
Too bad I don’t know of something similar on Linux or MacOS.
