How to make a URL shortcut use IE and not default browser

[Fred]

Anyone know how to make a URL shortcut use IE when the default browser is
set to Firefox?
There is one site that I must work with each morning that does not work with
Firefox but the rest of the day I use firefox.
Thanks,
Forrest

Install the FF extension "IE View". A right click in the page in FF then
offers you the choice to open the page in IE.

Have a look here (please put the whole URL in one line):

Why not just create a shortcut with the target as "c:\Program
Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" www.mysite.com (include a space &
the quotes) ???

Seems alot easier then opening the page with firefox, then right
clicking and selecting "open in I.E."
