Shortcut icon from desktop - to web

kim
Hi there

is it possible to make a link on a webpage - that users can click on
And then get/download a direct shortcut to a this website ??

Like:
<a href="javascrip t:window.extern al.AddDesktopCo mponent(locatio n.href,
'website');">Ad d to Desktop</a>
Ex.Take a look here
http://www.econlit.org/icon.php
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the bottom of the page, you can get a "link file"
how is that done ??

I want my users to accept the "shortcut"

Hope you can help

I'm encountering some wierd behavior with a <link> tag over an HTTPS connection, vs. an HTTP connection... In an ASP/HTML page on my website, I've add a <link rel="shortcut icon"...> in order to allow the users to add a shortcut (with icon) on their desktop, as well as seeing the icon in the URL. Our development server allows both HTTP and HTTPS connections, but the icon only appears to be available when requesting the page via HTTP???...

Hi all, I am attempting to deploy a vb.net application. That is working fine. I also configured the installer so shortcuts for the application would appear on the desktop and the user program menu.

I have a program that opens a file if the file's icon is dragged and dropped onto the text area. However, if I create a shortcut icon and drag it instead, I am opening the shortcut file, not the original file. How can I get from the fully qualified path name of the shortcut icon to the original file? Thank you, Bobbo

I think I am losing my mind. I've got a simple application for which I have a setup project to install the application. I create a shortcut to the applications project in the user's desktop. When I go to install the application it creates a shortcut to a shortcut instead of a shortcut to the application. Has anyone else seen this before????

Hey guys, So I created a setup project for my new app, but I don't know how to add a shortcut to the exe on the desktop. For now, I've created a link to the "Primary Output" of the project, but for some reason the icon it shows is a stack of papers, not the icon I have setup for the exe. The workaround I have in place is to create a shortcut manually after installing the project. Am I missing something here?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
