Shortcut to open IE and local htm file

[Treetop]

I am looking for a way to open Internet Explorer and have the page
that it opens a file on the local hard drive. I do not want to change
the default home page, and in many cases IE is not the default
browser. My only hope is that there is a switch in the command line
for iexplorer.exe such as /f:"c:\mydir\test.htm" and I know that F is
not the correct switch.

Just make a shortcut to the file. There are no switches necessary.
The executable is iexplore.exe, not iexplorer.exe

In this case Netscape is setup as the default web browser and the
customer does not want to change the default browser.

No need to change the default prowser.
Use the syntax:
iexplore c:\mydir\test.htm
