Internet Explorer commandline arguments

I'm trying to run Internet Explorer from a batch file/scheduled task.

My batch file contains (in its entirety):

cd "%ProgramFiles%\Internet Explore"
iexplore.exe http://superuser.com -nohome

When I run the batch file the URL picks up the command line argument, rather than acting on it.

http://superuser.com%20-nohome/

I'm sure I'm doing something silly, but don't see what at the moment. What is the solution?

This is on Windows 7 Home Premium, with Internet Explorer 8.

UPDATE in response to comments:

I got the nohome from some site or other, possibly the one mentioned in the comments. The previous attempt was actually using nohangrecovery which is documented Internet Explorer Command-Line Options.

My original attempt looked like this (which is actually as per the MSDN documentation:

cd "%ProgramFiles%\Internet Explore"
iexplore.exe -nohangrecovery http://superuser.com

This results in the address bar containing:

http://-nohangrecovery%20http//superuser.com

Sorry if this is a duplicate - I couldn't see any matches when I searched.

Solution 1:

Please refer to the documentation for Internet Explorer command-line options. Command-line options should go before the URL, and -nohome is not even a supported option. Where did you learn about -nohome?

Solution 2:

Just use this command:

"%ProgramFiles%\Internet Explorer\iexplorer.exe" http://superuser.com

No need for the cd\
