Creating internet shortcuts

[Richard Townsend]

I've seen the python.faqts page:
http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/...d/4475/fid/538 on how to
create windows shortcuts using Python.

Does anyone know if this be adapted to create internet shortcuts on
windows? (as used for Favorites).

Thank you,

Pythoncom doesn't directly support the necessary interfaces,
but you can use the Shell COM interfaces to create them.

import win32com.client
wsh=win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch('wscri pt.shell')
s=wsh.CreateShortcut('c:\\python.url')
s.TargetPath='www.python.org'
s.Save()
