Is there a function or command that I can use to call up default browser in my code

I have a code that specifies a specific type of browser to be used when opening a link, now I want the code to open the link using the computer's default browser instead of the specified browser.

I have set the line of code to "defaultbrowser.application" and "default_browser.application" instead of "InternetExplorer.application" 

 Sub sbExitHTA
 Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
 IE.Visible = true
 IE.Navigate2 "yahoo.com"
'IE.Navigate2 "yahoo.com"

'<a href="yahoo.com">Yahoo</a> 
  Self.Close()

I want the code to open my computer's default browser which is not internet explorer instead of internet explorer

The following code uses your default browser:

Dim objWScriptShell
Set objWScriptShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

objWScriptShell.Run "https://yahoo.com", 9

Here is documentation about the Run command and the intWindowStyle parameter (I used 9 here).
