How do I create a Desktop short cut using a certain browser?

[scustalow]

I want to create a shortcut on my desktop using a browser of my choice?..or how do I change a shortcut that uses the aol browser ..to the shortcut using ms explorer?

Left-click drag drop from Start/Programs to your desktop.
Assuming you're using XP.

The shortcuts open with the app you have associated with the file type. I guess you have some Internet shortcuts you want to open with AOL, some wit IE? Besides right-clicking, and select "Open with..." I don't think there's any way to do that.

Open browser of choice ,open a web page,save to favorites in IE or bookmarks in Firefox, drag and drop to desktop..... easy!!!!!!

I want to use IE for my shortcut on my desktop to go to suddenlink.net but everytime I do try to make the shortcut fromIE it still wants to use aol browser..

Create new shortcut, then put in where it wants the path / filename.

iexplore http://suddenlink.net

I also keep this...

iexplore about:blank

on my desktop when I don't want to load my tabs / home pages, gets me where I'm going quicker.

I don't think there's any way to have certain links open with one browser app, and other with another browser app. They all open in one or the other. Which one, is determined system default browser.
