I have both IE and Firefox installed and Firefox is my default browser. Is there a way to specify it to open in IE or Firefox? |

Is there a way to specify it to open in IE or Firefox? Yep, you sure can, in the "New Shortcut" dialog type either one of these: To force a url to open in IE: "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" http://yourwebsitehere To force open a URL in Firefox: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" http://www.yourwebsitehere Blam |

Thats why it opens in FF, its the default browser If I change IE to be my default browser, all the shortcut links will open in IE, right? Is there a way to make it like this: say, shortcut-A is to be opened in FF and shortcut -B is to be opened in IE? |
