Only if you configure it to do so. IE allows you to switch this facility
on or off.

Try ShellExecute() command. It will start whatever registered application
is for the .html files. You can find the parameter syntax in the Win95 SDK.
The file name will be "first.html" somewhere in the parameters. However,
there is a slight problem with the process that I don't have a solution
for. Here is the problem:
when you ShellExecute() your start page the browser will start, in case of
IE 3.x+ versions if you are not online
it will bring up the Connect to your ISP dialog. In my case it starts the
MSN dialer.

	You posted this exact question on Oct 3 and you got 2 answers.
	Were they not good enough?

	Furthermore, there has been significant discussion of this problem
	in several other threads in the groups. Do you not know how to
	search the newsgroups with your newsreader?  If not, it might be
	a good thing to learn. You can also learn how to use DejaNews
	to search for related posts or answers to your question.

	In a word, ShellExecute().

Likewise with VC++5, which uses IE to display its help system.

It directly reads the files from the CD-ROM; they aren't cached.
