I know I can can create a command shortcut icon on the desktop that opens firefox in a new window. I can also create a url shortcut (web document) on the desktop (drag url to desktop) that only opens in an opened browser (unless I uncheck the option in firefox to open urls in new TAB). I don't want all web page urls to always open in a new window, just the ones from the destop. Note that there is a significant between a command shortcut icon and a web document shortcut icon on the desktop. They are two very different things. Command line options are of no use because the url (web document) icon is not a command line thing. There very well might be a windows 7 setting that controls the command line for web documents, but I have not found it. Any suggestions?
