title: Opening a new tab on an existing Internet Explorer (from Command Line)
body: <p>I would like to run a command on the command prompt (in Windows) that will open Internet Explorer with certain perks.</p>
  
  <p>Scenario (starting with no Internet Explorer opened):</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Run "iexplore google.ca" to open google.ca, as a new tab, on Internet Explorer</li>
  <li>Run "iexplore yahoo.ca" again to open yahoo.ca, as a new tab, on the recently opened Internet Explorer</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>End result should have 2 tabs on one Internet Explorer application/window.</p>
  
  <p>I would like the above behavior but Internet Explorer will just open new windows instead of new tabs when running the iexplore command. I have already tried various command line options and settings.</p>
  
  <p>Java code such as Runtime or ProcessBuilder will be used to execute this command. Any other solutions will be great as well.</p>
  
  <p>Note: I have found a way to get this behavior but it will only work with the default browser. I would specifically like to specify the Internet Explorer browser instead of relying on the default browser. (start /d "" www.google.ca)</p>
