You can to that by command line

"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" www.google.com

Read about Process class

        Process myProcess = new Process();
        myProcess.StartInfo.FileName = "command there";
        myProcess.Start();

This assumes you want to force IE on the user. Using `System.Diagnostics.Process.Start` will use the user's default web browser. – Anthony Apr 16 '15 at 13:10
