The navigate method does work as long as it is a valid url:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.webbrowser.aspx

The WebBrowser control cannot be used by partially trusted code. For more information, see Using Libraries from Partially Trusted Code.

The WebBrowser control has several properties, methods, and events related to navigation. The following members let you navigate the control to a specific URL, move backward and forward through the navigation history list, and load the home page and search page of the current user:
- Url
- Navigate
- GoBack
- GoForward
- GoHome
- GoSearch
If the navigation is unsuccessful, a page indicating the problem is displayed. Navigation with any of these members causes the Navigating, Navigated, and DocumentCompleted events to occur at different stages of navigation.</>

Yeah thanks for all the help i got that working just started another thread asking about new windows is called addhandler error (need help) so you might want to read that, but thanks for all the help.

your on the right path here...just use the methods provided by the webbrowser control...as far as a favorites folder...look into getting a list of favorites(files) from the users favorites directory and displaying them in a treeview control or a simple listbox control (the treeview will make it easier to display the folder/file hierarchy)

The first thing you'll probably consider doing is validating the text box. e.g., you need to check it's a valid web address... with or without the www., with or without the protocol (http/https/ftp etc.), with or without a valid domain extension etc. etc.
