water Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 (edited) Use "FileCreateShortcut", call the FireFox.exe and pass the URL as parameter Edited December 5, 2011 by water My UDFs and Tutorials: Spoiler UDFs:Active Directory (NEW 2022-02-19 - Version 1.6.1.0) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts - WikiExcelChart (2017-07-21 - Version 0.4.0.1) - Download - General Help & Support - Example ScriptsOutlookEX (2021-11-16 - Version 1.7.0.0) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts - WikiOutlookEX_GUI (2021-04-13 - Version 1.4.0.0) - DownloadOutlook Tools (2019-07-22 - Version 0.6.0.0) - Download - General Help & Support - WikiPowerPoint (2021-08-31 - Version 1.5.0.0) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts - WikiTask Scheduler (NEW 2022-07-28 - Version 1.6.0.1) - Download - General Help & Support - Wiki Standard UDFs:Excel - Example Scripts - WikiWord - Wiki Tutorials:ADO - WikiWebDriver - Wiki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somdcomputerguy Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 (edited) See FileCreateShortcut() in the Helpfile. This link - Command line arguments - MozillaZine Knowledge Base may help also.edit: Edited December 5, 2011 by somdcomputerguy - Bruce /*somdcomputerguy */ If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

water Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Please (re)read the docu of function FileCreateShortcut. You have to use at least two parameters. Or use FileGetShortcut on a shortcut that works and see what you get.
