I suspect it actually was Edge and the OP didn't realize

It was IE. I'd have to hand my nerd card in if I couldn't tell the difference :P

They probably did some hacky shit like

CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Run "cmd /k C:\Progra~1\Intern~1\iexplore.exe" & Blah

and then forgot to set Blah, or it used to be set but somehow got unset in a later update script, etc.

And the admin had hand-configured msn.com as the Edge start page?
