R: launch web browser

Is there a way to launch Internet Explorer with a given URL in R? I want to clear the web pages to extract certain values, but I want to open the web pages themselves so that I can go through each one to make sure the data seems to be correct.

Here you go:

browseURL("http://www.r-project.org") 

If you need it, browseURL() also takes a browser= argument, which allows you to specify the name or path of the program that will be used as the browser.

Maybe something like:

 system("iexplore.exe http://www.foo.bar/eggs.html") 

Can work under windows.
