Open a link with a specified url and specified browser hidden with vbscript

Question

I want to convert this batch command

start msedge.exe --new-window "https://www.google.com/"

to a vbscript file so I can open it in hidden

I've tried this

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run """https://www.google.com/""", 0,TRUE

but it only opens on default browser and not open with new window

Any help?

Answer 1

Instead of trying to replace the batch command, run the batch command via the script like this:

Option Explicit
Dim MyCommand, WshShell
MyCommand = "cmd /c start msedge.exe --new-window ""https://www.google.com/"""
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run MyCommand, 0, True
