   Question on how to change defaut browser

   I have a situation.   
      
   I have both MS Internet Explorer and Firefox active on my XP SP2   
   machine.  I have Firefox set as the default browser because I prefer   
   Firefox.  I want to execute Verizon's speed test at   
   (http://www2.verizon.net/micro/speedtest/java/   
   and it appears that it will not run under Firefox, but will under IE.   
   I have a desktop shortcut created to do the test, but it wants to use   
   Firefox because it is the default browser.  How do I permanently make   
   this shortcut and only this shortcut use IE?   
      
   Thanks
