There are quite a few resources for programmatically creating .lnk
type shortcuts to files and programs on the desktop but I'm wondering how to create a shortcut to a web URL.
From what I can gather, the web URL shortcut is a text file ending in .URL
and contains a ini-like definition such as:
[InternetShortcut]
URL=http://www.google.com/
However, it's not enough to just create the file, it seems you also need to change its meta URL
properties to include the same link.
Any idea how to create these?
Any sample code from .Net/Perl/batch is welcome.
