or LeftMouseUpAction=["http://www.google.pl"] if its default browser

Of course, that is true of any browser. However my point was IF you wanted to just launch the browser without going to any particular site.

Besides which, I don't speak Polish...

This is actually true of any Windows "app" in Windows 10.

What you can do is:

Hit Win-R to open a "Run" input, and type "shell:Appsfolder"

That will open up a normally well-hidden "Applications" folder in Explorer, which will have all your installed applications listed, including the "modern" ones that come with Windows 10 or that you get from the "Store".

When in that, hit F-10 to get a menu bar, and from that menu bar select "View / Choose Details"

Select the radio box for "AppUserModelID". That ID is what you are going to want to execute.

Select "Details" from the little "View" gadget" on the right hand side.

This is very helpful! Has all the details needed for creating action bangs to use in Rainmeter!
This should be renamed, since it can be used for any Windows 10 installed app or program, and it definitely should be pinned!

Thanks Jeffrey!

Done. I just created a new sticky post.
