Without any extra software, you can pop open IE pretty quickly whenever you desire by opening up a PowerShell prompt and executing:
(New-Object -ComObject InternetExplorer.Application).Visible = $true
To direct it to a site as well (like google), tweak it like this:
$ie = New-Object -ComObject InternetExplorer.Application; $ie.Visible = $true; $ie.Navigate("https://www.google.com")
If you want to make an actual Internet Explorer shortcut, using VBScript is a little better as it avoids window flicker:
Set ie = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application") : ie.Visible = True : ie.Navigate("https://www.google.com")
Save the above line as “startIE.vbs” in Notepad in a location of your choice, run the file once to make sure it’s working, then finally make a shortcut (right-click vbs file, [If Win11] Show more options, Create Shortcut). Look at the properties of the shortcut to rename and change the icon, you can still find the original icon at C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe.
End result is something like this:

ok wow internet explorer looks kinda cursed on windows 11
im surprised the vbs trick still works, i would’ve thought microsoft had patched that out.

if the ability for VBS scripts to open IE windows was removed, a bunch of programs would get broken (and there’s nothing microsoft cares about more than compatibility… besides maybe money)
