Click to expand...
Insert "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" before the
target in your shortcut's properties.
 
Double-clicking the Internet shortcuts always open in the default browser.
To open a link in a non-default browser, create an application shortcut..

Examples:

"%programfiles%\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" c:\myfile.htm
"%programfiles%\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" http://www.google.com
