Opening URL via batch file

Pulling my hair out here. As part of a batch file, I'd like to open up a browser to a specific webpage. Now, at a command line, for both firefox and ie, you can type "c:\(program directories)\(browser executable) http://www.tfproject.org" and it will open the browser up a ok to the page. The second I slap it in the batch file, though, the whole thing decides it won't work. I've tried it alone too, in various forms, and it's a no go. From trial and error, it seems like the culprit might be the space between the executable and the url. quotes, no quotes, cd\(directory) then (command), I can't get anything to work. Argh!! Any insight?

ps, this is xp
