In my experience, it works better to run the START program directly:

case OS_WIN_9X :
params = new String[] {
"start",
s
};
break;

For one thing, you don't have to quote the URL. It works as-is.

For another, running START.EXE by itself won't display a dorky
command-window, which makes your program look ever so stupid, given the
defaults of the command.com window.

Sadly, START is a builtin on NT-lineage versions of Windows (NT, 2K, XP),
and puzzling out how to tell it to not put up the geekoid command-line
window was more than I could decipher even after playing around with it for
a couple hours. The price of innovation, I suppose.

I realize this is light-years off-topic for this list, though I think it's
fairly on-topic for the thread (well, within an AU or two).
