I was working with a lady that need a URL loaded in FireFox but her default browser still needed to be IE 6. I figured, "Hey, I'll load the URL in FF and drag the icon". lol :irritated: The URL shortcut created a IE shortcut so when it is clicked it launches her default browser, IE. Other than changing her default browser to IE, is there a way to create FireFox URL shortcut on the Desktop?

Yes create a firefox shortcut and then press right click/ properties and in the Target field add a space and the URL see the attached image for a better explanation.

Hope it helped.

You are welcome :)
I had to do the same thing a few months a go.. and I thought of that because as far as I know IE does the same.
