Solution

  • You can appled the URL to the command line parameter for example in IE:

    C:\Windows\System32>"C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" http://stackoverflow.com/

    Firefox:

    C:\Windows\System32>"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" stackov
erflow.com

    and Chrome:

    C:\Windows\System32>"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe
" stackoverflow.com

    Works on windows, you will need to replace C:\Windows\System32>"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application with the the location of the application in your environment
