The Desktop class opens a URL in the user's default browser when using the open() method. How can a URL be opened in IE even when IE is not the default browser?

Edit: Solutions do not have to use the Desktop class. I was using that as an example.

  • you can't, you can only open it in the default browser. Commented Apr 28, 2011 at 15:28
  • @liv solutions don't have to use the Desktop class. I know you can open IE by calling exec() also, but it doesn't seem very elegant Commented Apr 28, 2011 at 15:30
  • why do you want to open it in another browser? Commented Apr 28, 2011 at 15:32
  • you're right -- it's not elegant and it's not portable since different windows version have IE installed in different locations. Commented Apr 28, 2011 at 15:37
