This is just a guess on my part, but the system also includes the ability
to register for handling extensions. My guess is that Safari has
registered .html and your URL has a .html extension. Safari will win,
even though IE is the default browser.
I imagine there is some work around involving launching IE instead of
IClaunchURL.
