I have firefox as my default brower, but I would like to create a shortcut to my hotmail account that opens with internet explorer instead. If I just create a shortcut to the address on my desktop from ie, then it still opens firefox.

Is there a command line extensions I need to add? How can I get just this one shortcut to open with ie instead of my default, firefox?

Thanks

If I type "iexplore www.hotmail.com" in the run box, it starts ie and goes to hotmail. Make a shortcut that does this?
