    A batch script that creates desktop shortcuts

    Hello! How do I create a simple batch script that creates IE desktop shortcuts to websites on Windows XP and Vista?

    I've made my own program here, and despite it being free, I thought I'd try to earn some money by having the installer run a batch script that creates desktop shortcuts to my affiliate websites.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Great, thanks, Kyrre Nygård

    So what are you using as an installer?

    Because the installer should be able to do it. You just have the url of the address instead of a path and filename.
