Creating a shortcut

[Britbadboy]

Hi Guys,

am back yet again with a lil silly question as ever, and I know all you wonderful people out there are ready to pounce with the overflowing knowledge base you have within.

OK! now the real part, how do I create an internet explorer shortcut on my desktop?

Regards.

Have you tried to open a .url file with notepad yet? Check this out it's a damn ini file.

[DEFAULT]

BASEURL=http://www.meriamwebster.com/

[internetShortcut]

URL=http://www.meriamwebster.com/

Modified=903C8A359CDFC301CA

Just use IniWrite.

Here is an example

IniWrite("test.url", "DEFAULT", "BASEURL", "http://www.meriamwebster.com/")
IniWrite("test.url", "InternetShortcut", "URL", "http://www.meriamwebster.com/")

Hope that helps. Yes you can omit the Modified line. Maybe someone will make this a UDF?
