Default Using START, CALL etc commands in Shell gives me error "Run Time Error 53; File Not Found".

Something like this should work:

Sub test()

Dim strFile As String

strFile = "D:\ARKQ.html"
Shell "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE " & """" & strFile
& """", 1

End Sub

My Code is like

Sub test()
FName = "D:\ARKQ.html"
Shell "start " & FName
End Sub

But when I run this code, it gives me File Not Found Error. Please help me
with this error. The same happens with "call" command also.

even if I simply run the code:
Shell "start"
it shows the same error, so I assume I have to give the full path of the
program "start" ??
