Open new window with default browser

... without specifying a website.

Code: Select all

Run "http:"
It's that simple.

It might not work for all browsers, but I have confirmed it works for Firefox and Edge (on Windows 11).
  • Firefox opens whatever you have selected for "Homepage and new windows"; a new tab page in my case.
  • If Edge isn't running, it opens whatever you have selected for "When Edge starts"; otherwise it opens a new window with a new tab page.
In both cases, at least on my system, the window opens with the address/search bar focused, which is what I want.

Nice find! I see that just http: works from the Win+R Run box too.
