Hi, I have IE6 which is required by some programmes for internet access and
I have Mozilla which I prefer for web browsing. Is there a way I can
allocate some desktop shortcuts to use IE6 and others to use Mozilla. I can
set either as the default browser but then cannot open the other browser
from a shortcut. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Peter,

Create a shortcut to iexplore.exe on the Desktop
Right-click the newly created shortcut and change the Target field to:

Examples:
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" www.msn.com
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" www.google.com
