Windows 10: How to push out shortcuts for non default browser using group policy

We are currently switching desktops to use Chrome as the default browser. However I still have 2 legacy websites that still need to use IE. We use Group Policy to push out shortcuts. I set up a shortcut to use IE to open the legacy site but when I push out through GP when it appears on the desktop the default browser forces it to Chrome.


Another option is to use a Pinned site shortcut however I can't figure out how to push a Pinned site shortcut out using GP.


Am I missing something or can this not be done?

GROUP POLICIES IN WINDOWS 10

You can change Group Policies by opening Group Policy Editor first. You can open it by following these steps:

• Log in an administrator account. If you are already logged in as an administrator, proceed to step 2.
  
• Press Windows + R to open Run.
• Type gpedit.msc and press Enter.
  

After opening Group Policy Editor, you can now make the necessary changes that you want.

Should you have more concerns, feel free to post.
