For metro applications users are in control of the applications that launch for uri and files.

To browse to a webpage (JavaScript but the C# is similar): 

var uri = new Windows.Foundation.Uri("http://www.microsoft.com");
Windows.System.Launcher.launchUriAsync(uri).then(function () { });

To launch other apps you should look at the Windows.System.Launcher class.
