I?d like to open a browser in command line. I?m trying:

>> web http://www.mathworks.com -browser;

But, the MatLab said:
"Sorry, no browser is registered to handle the '.html'
extension."

How would I get this?

My OS is Windows XP, and I have installed the Internet
Explorer 6.0, Safari, and Mozilla Firefox...

Thanks

Henrique

This works fine on my machine. I have firefox setup as
default, and the command simply opens a new tab. Which
browser is your default browser?
