internet explorer - Launch IE from a link in Chrome

Question

I want to have a link in Chrome e.g.

Open Link

that when you click on it in the Chrome Browser that it launches the link in an IE window.

Can anyone explain how to do this. I believe it is possible and may involve adding some settings in the registry

ps: I can't use any browser extension e.g. IETab or any of this. It has to launch the IE on the machine.

Answer 1

Ok so I did the following which works :

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
   alert
      (Default) = "URL:Alert Protocol"
      URL Protocol = ""
      DefaultIcon
         (Default) = "iexplore.exe,1"
      shell
         open
            command
               (Default) = cmd /k set myvar=%1 & call set myvar=%%myvar:alert:=%% &?call "C:Program Files (x86)Internet Exploreriexplore.exe" %%myvar%% & exit /B

Then have your link

<a href="alert:www.google.ie">link</a>
