Can Default Be Set For Just One Function?

[mrclose]

This question was hard to title correctly!

The question itself isn't so easy either!

I have Pale Moon set as my default browser.

On my desktop are all of the shortcuts to sites that I use most every day.
(So far, so good?)

All of them (shortcuts) open with the 'default' Pale Moon browser ... as they should.

My problem is: My bank's login page doesn't work as it should when I use the Pale Moon browser!

The login screen works great with Chrome!

Is there 'anyway' to set that one shortcut to the bank to open with the Chrome Browser without changing Pale Moon as the default for everything else?

I've tried to set it up in 'properties' and 'default' programs but those don't work to do what I need done.

I think you can set the home screen for chrome separately.  Home is browser based.  Default browser is an OS setting.

Just go into chrome and set it.  But don't change default browser.  It will prompt you to change the browser.

You may need to create a custom shortcut that opens the non-default browser and then causes it to access the bank site programmatically.

Instead of creating a shortcut to it, you can create an executable file. First, create a notepad file (.txt) and put this in:

start "" "\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"  %1
exit

Change the path to the path of whatever browser you want to use as change th %1 to the website you want to open.

Save that file to your desktop and rename it from name.txt to name.bat and try it.

Just to play devils advocate, that’s not really an “executable file” but a script that runs an executable file.

Just keeping it in layman's terms.

I know.  I just had to geek out on you there for a second.

Out of all the suggestions, I was finally able to get one to work!
It was one that I found through google.

NO!
I am not faulting the rest of you folks!
I'm sure that your suggestions would work as well if I were able to do more than copy and paste!

Yes, I am that pc ignorant!

Solution ...

Right click the desktop, New >> Shortcut.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" "http://www.example.com"

(Replace example.com with the web page url you want to open)

I know that the above looks like some of your suggestions but I was able to copy and paste the solution directly as a Chrome shortcut and all I had to do was to change the shortcut icon to a bank building icon.

Again, Thanks to All of You!

Hey!
Clicking on the example.com link in my post gave me a neat surprise!

That is essentially what abaraxas was suggesting, and also more or less what I suggested.  Glad you found a concrete example you could use tho’.
