Forcing a launcher to be opened with Internet Explorer

Question

Ok, I've read here and here that is not possible, on a gerneral browser, to force a link to be opened in IE.

So my question is: can I do it with a desktop launcher?

Extended question: Can I easily create a desktop launcher on Windows (10, 7 and maybe older versions) that if double clicked opens a specific URL in IE?

Answer 1

You can create a batch file to run the command to open IE with a specific url. You can create a .bat file and put the following code in the file:

start iexplore "http://www.bing.com"

Double click the .bat file, then it will open IE with Bing website.

Result:
