Default Set Up Network Shortcut to use IE?

Have the shortcut run the program and specify the site as a parameter,
as in:

"path\iexplore.exe" url

where, path is wherever IE is installed on your host (probably
c:\program files\internet explorer). Be sure to include the
double-quotes if the path or filename contains spaces.

Target:
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"
"http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/"

Start in:
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer"

worked for me.

The Microsoft Windows Update site won't work with any web browser other
than Microsoft's own. While you can use IE to visit the site, why
doesn't the "Windows Update" shortcut in the Start menu work (which runs
wupdmgr.exe)?


Ur asking me???

Thanks
