Open picture via VBA ( Excel) from web without Internet Explorer

Question

I use code to open pictures from web using Internet Explorer. Now I want to do it without Internet Explorer eg in paint or windows photo viewer. I sent my VBA code with using IE. Could you help me ? Thank you.

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
    Dim Path As String, s As String
    Path = "http://08.15.40.22:0603/tralala/get_doc.pl?doc_id="

    If Not Intersect(Target, Range("H7:H30")) Is Nothing _
    And Target.Count = 1 Then
        If IsNumeric(Target) And Len(Target) > 0 Then
            s = Left(Target, Len(Target) - 2)
            ActiveWorkbook.FollowHyperlink Path & s
        End If
    End If
End Sub

You can do this with a Shell command:

Shell "RunDLL32.exe C:\Windows\System32\Shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen " & Path & s

This opens Windows Picture & Fax Viewer full-screen with the image.

Or in MSPaint:

Shell Chr(34) & "C:\Windows\System32\mspaint.exe" & Chr(34) & " " & Chr(34) & Path & s & Chr(34), 1
