At a standard security context, browsers donot provide any way of launching other programs and a goodly number of systems donot have IE anyway. The security contexts which are non-standard, most browsers still don't provide a way of launching other programs.

javascript does not allow you to execute programs (like IE) from another web browser. This isn't possible.

I would recommend to either:

Show an error/warning that the site doesn't work or might not work correctly when not using IE
Fix the site to work cross-browser (recommended)
