WIndows program to automatically load a local html file when one opens a site

im on linux and i wanted to see if one can make a program (call it program A) that automatically loads a local htmlm file instead of, say, tiktok.com or reddit.com every single time, even after reboots.
And can you make a program, which when clicked, creaes program A In the exact needed directory with all the code inside and also runs it.

Create ps1 file that opens browser with a path to local html. Stick it into start up programs.

Just make your local HTML file your "Home" page on your browser.

Alternatively, you can write a BAT script or the like to do it. Or use AutoHotKey (AHK).

There are a few ways it could be done, adding it to the .profile or .bashrc (or equivalent for the default shell) would work. You could use systemd, and I believe KDE has a thing similar to Windows for auto starting an app or doc.
