It is a Batch file. The only thing it contains is a .exe with some parameters:

webbrowser.exe /ini=default.ini /Zoom=2.5 /X=350 /Y=350

I also tried to start the exe itsself but cannot enter any parameters.

The program is a plugin developed for myhtpc. I think it is javascript.
It comes close to what I would expect of a HTPC Browser.
It is not the better known simplebrowser I mentioned somewhere above.

The plugin is called smallwebbrowser. In the next couple of days there will be a better version.

In this original thread you can read about the features:

If someone wants to try it, please note the following:

you have to edit the file default.ini and delete the c:\ in front of the picture file.
you have to edit the bat file and delete the "alpha"part in the .exe name

My judgement:

+ zoomfactor
+ zoom and other functions working with keys (remote) or mouse
+ easy to use
+ integrated (with mp it is sort of on top placement, position and size not optimal) or fullscreen

- second page you enter will not have the same zoom factor as previous page
- no favourites

maybe the author, Aeroschmelz,could be convinced to support mediaportal with his plugin , too. Otherwise take it as an example of how a browser integration could look like.
