Hello Hrant,
Double check in Default Programs using the tutorial below to make sure that Internet Explorer is set as the default program for all of it's associations. Specifically the URL file extension. Afterwards, see if it will open in IE now. :)
Default Programs - Set a Program's Default Associations
Hope this helps,

Dear Shawn,
Thank you very much. But Enternet Explorer is not listed in the Programs.
Hrant,
Ok. The tutorial below may be able to add Internet Explorer back to Default Programs for you to then be able to do so.. :)
Internet Explorer - Restore or Remove from Default Programs - Vista Forums
Another way that might work for you.
Internet Explorer/internet options/programs/make default. Close I.E. and reopen and see if I.E. kept your settings.
Dear Shawn,
Sorry for bothering you again. I followed your second recommendation, unfortunately IE didn't come back to list of the default programs.
Thank you!
you can try checking manually if internet explorer is the default browser or not.
Tools>Options>Programs>Make default.
