Is there a way to specify which program should open the shortcut.

Take browsers for example. My default browser is Firefox. I have some important shortcuts on my desktop that don't perform well in Firefox, so I want them to open in Internet Explorer.

Important !
I know there are other ways of doing this. Such as creating favorites. But I need this feature also for other files, not only internet shortcuts.

I like to work with specific programs for specific files. So please try to help me with the problem of opening different files in different programs.
