Here's a simple way you can run Internet Explorer from the command line:
Create a new text file that contains the following line:
@start "" /b "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" %*
Rename the file e.bat
Copy this file to your profile folder C:\Documents and Settings\your_account_name
Now you can open a command prompt window and type the following:
e www.mtit.com
This will start Internet Explorer and open the URL for www.mtit.com (my own website) or any other URL you specify.
