I use a component by Alexander Meeder called TUrl.  You can
set the URLType property to one of nine types and then set
the URL property to the desired address.  When the Execute
method is called, the appropriate program will load and
handle the URL.

In your case, you can drop a label on your about box and in
the OnClick event call TUrl.Execute.

TUrl is available from Brad Stower's DFS page at
http://www.pobox.com/~bstowers/delphi  Once there, select
"A. Meeder's Stuff" and then select "TUrl."
