The syntax for the shell-command function is
      shell-command is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `simple'.
      (shell-command COMMAND &optional OUTPUT-BUFFER ERROR-BUFFER)
To not have an output buffer, set the last two arguments to nil,
i.e. call your function as
     (shell-command
        (concat "start "
                "file:///H:/usr/pkg/jakarta-ant-1.4.1/docs/manual/index.html/")
        nil nil)
