open Favorites in my web browser

hi all,

here's my situation. when i go into the start menu then goto favorites, and click on one...i want to be able to open it in my web browser program. i have managed to make it the default browser, and got it to accept command line arguments. i noticed that when i click on the favorite, there are no arguments being sent to my program. How exactly then does IE know what page to goto?? oh yeah, the only thing i haven't done yet, is to associate my browser to open .htm and .html files. is that the problem? ANY insight on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Dave
