There is a way to open a page in default 11 browser System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(url);

If you want specifically to open 10 it in IE you will probably need to create 9 a new IE process with URL as an argument.

UPD: If 8 you want to run a function, insert GET parameters 7 into your url string (ie. http://stackoverflow.com/page?runFunction=1) and in your 6 application code check for runFunction parameter 5 and based on its value decide if your application 4 needs to run the function.

I don't think 3 is possible to specify new IE window width 2 and height values, you may need to use javascript 1 for that.
