Can you force the window to appear where you set your default internet browser?

Is there any way you can trigger (from either the command line or some vbscript) the pop-up window to appear that allows you to select your default internet browser?
The pop-up I'm talking about is similar to the one below:
Closest I can get so far is calling %appdata%MicrosoftWindowsStart MenuProgramsSystem ToolsDefault Apps.lnk but that still requires two additional clicks.
windows-10 browser batch vbscript

Partial answer:
In the CMD prompt, in the Run dialog, or as a new shortcut, enter the following shell command.
explorer shell:::{17CD9488-1228-4B2F-88CE-4298E93E0966}
This displays the Default Programs dialog.
From there, click on Set your default programs.
Scroll down to Web browser to make changes.
Admittedly, this three-step process should be condensed to a single command, and if someone knows of a command-line option for Default Programs or another way to go directly to Default apps, please comment!
BTW, the default browser can be set silently through Group Policy or Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM).

Best I've managed so far is to launch%appdata%MicrosoftWindowsStart MenuProgramsSystem ToolsDefault Apps.lnkwhich is one less click than yours :)

@Richard, thanks, however that depends on the PC having that link (the one I'm at does not). Have you examined the properties of that link, to make this work generally?
