Adding internet shortcuts to vb.net setup project

Hi all!
How can I add "internet shortcuts" in the Start/User's Program Menu while
deploying a VB.net setup project?
When I try to "create new shortcut", Visual Studio warning me:
"You cannot use an internet address here. Enter a path that points to a
location on your computer or on the network".
I know that "link" files in Windows have .url extension. So these are
simply... files.
But I can't add them to my setup project :-(
Any idea?
Many thanks.
