"... the entire URL must be put

in quotes or else the shortcut won’t work" JR, I find it to be not true. when I do it, the path to the executable, surrounded by quotes, a space, and followed by the address without quotes because there are no spaces in the address. if the quotes are necessary for the address, please explain why.

I agree on the billing point. :) Regarding creating shortcuts to webpages using a browser other than the default browser, it can be done as I previously stated, just remember that you must add the path to the browser’s executable first, then add the URL second. Also know that the entire URL must be put in quotes or else the shortcut won’t work.

You can't right click on the shortcut to a program and say, "Open with," something else. I have never heard of anyone, prior to now, wanting web URLs to open with anything other than the web browser of their choosing. If they want to use another one then they can open the shortcut itself, copy the URL, open the other web browser wanted at the moment, and paste it in. Web desktop shortcuts have always opened with the default web browser from day one.
