OPEN EXTERNAL FILE

Hi
I need to open an external file (pdf, avi, jpeg) with default windows application using a script.
I ask also another thing: how can I create a web page link in a Message box ?
I'm sure someone already asked about it but I didn't find any results, so please answer me or gimme a link about it.
Thanks
