From: embark on 20 Jul 2010 15:05 Hello folks: is there a simple way to create a shortcut ( an icon on desktop or in some directory ) pointing to an URL, either in case that the browser is displaying the page or not. Thanks.

A *.url file is not very complicated. I dragged one to the desktop, renamed it to get rid of the *.url extension, and opened it with a text editor. Here is what was inside: [InternetShortcut] URL=http://www.google.com/ You should be able to create that with basic text out routines. http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source=hp&q=url+file+format
