AnyLink

So, I had this great idea. Here it is:
I have one of those multimedia keyboards, a Compaq, and it has some dinky not-so-programmable buttons at the top. You can make them launch links and programs and stuff. But if you can actually program, even in VB, you can open up a world of possibilities.
So my idea was that, hey, why don't a make a program to grab a web link from the clipboard and follow it? Well, I wrote it real quick, and called it AnyLink. It only follows HTTP links.
I uploaded it to my GooglePages site and it can be found here:
Download for Windows only
Usage:
Set one of your programmable buttons to launch this. To use, highlight a website and copy the URL. Press the button. Viola!
