HTA Files and Microsoft Edge

I have a HTA application. Within the HTA, I'm calling a function to open up a webpage using:

window.open( sURL, "Working" );

This opens a page in Internet Explorer and not Edge.

Is there a way to default window.open to open a webpage in Edge?

Using window.open in an HTA will always open the specified URL in Internet Explorer, even in Windows 11 (build 22000.348 or higher required). If you wish to open a web page in Edge, you can do so using the Run method:

Set oWSH = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
oWSH.Run "msedge.exe --new-window ""https://www.cnn.com""",0,False
