You could try:
<onclick>XBMC.System.Exec(C:\Progra~1\Mozill~1\Firefox.exe)</onclick>
Every long filename has an 8 letter abbreviated form like "Progra~1" for "Program Files". You can use "dir /X C:\" and "dir /X C:\Progra~1" to check the short filenames are correct.

Jhsrennie,
once again thank you. The good news, it works! the bad news! when i close (x button) internet explorer, the xbmc does not pop up again, but i remain in windows 7 desktop. How can i resolve this?
also, with the above system.exec command i can put any program i like, right? For instance i want to put item id (unique) for dvb viewer so the usb digital tv stick works "through" xbmc. I can do this, right?

Thank you for all your replies. YEs, obviously i had internet explorer, and needles to say i changes the source pathes and mozilla.exe to iexplore exe and the according path. JS I am sorry i was stupid i had forgotten a secong onclick command after the <onclick>XBMC.System.Exec(C:\Progra~1\Mozill~1\Fir efox.exe)</onclick> (as i said this was progr~1\inter~1 iexplore.exe). Your advice worked fine.
Bottom line, i am very very happy with XBMC. Everything i want i add it in the main menu by the item commands, and it runs just fine. I have put internet explorer, my DVB so i can watch (and record) TV on my projector, and now i will also put mame. LOVE the XBMC!! :-)
One more thing please. I also changed the command in dialog box from suspend to hibernate, because in the suspend command the HTPC never shuts down. So far so good. But i have the same problem as many others have. Once the system resumes, i have a black screen. If i press alt tab, then i see for example my computer, but i can not see again the screen of XBMC unless i shut it down through alt+cntrl+del and then re run it. I am useing HDMI connection. Is there something i can do, so when my computer resumes from hibernation, to work fine with xbmc?
JS, your "lights" please! :-)
