I thought this would be easy. Set up a custom tool to launch a web page.

I assumed I'd just create the tool name it, and specify the path to the internet shortcut in a folder in explorer. No need for any parameters... Or so I thought. It didn't work.

I'm sure I'm missing something obvious. Can anyone help?

And while I'm asking, is there a way to have that URL open in a specified size window and in front of all other open windows, and with focus set on that window?

TIA, y'all. 🙂

You would have to do a little research as to which command line parameters your browser understands.  
E.g. to open google with firefox it is (an example):  
Program: navigate to browser, e.g. `C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe`  
Parameters: `-foreground -new-window -url https://www.google.de`
