I found this very old post about opening a specific desktop shortcut for YouTube in Edge, not Chrome. I would like to do the same, but open in IE, not Edge.

I doubt that anyone will see my question I just asked on that post just now, so does anyone know what I need to change in the below to make the command open in IE? I assume it is just the bold part that needs changing?

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c start microsoft-edge:http://www.youtube.com

It should be iexplore to invoke internet explorer.

Try this from cmd prompt to verify if it works

start iexplore http://www.youtube.com

so in the shortcut:

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c start iexplore http://www.youtube.com

notice there's no colon between iexplore and the url
