Open Internet Shortcut in IE

Use a file shortcut instead of an internet shortcut.

1. Create a shortcut to C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe.

2. Open the properties and add a space and the website to the target.
("C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" http://www.google.co.in)

3. Once in IE the internet shortcuts in favorites or on the links bar will ignore the default browser and opens in IE as well.
