How to create a shortcut to the users Desktop? 1

[Ayac]

I would like to create a link on my website that would create a shortcut link to another website onto the user's desktop. What would you suggest to use? VBShell maybe?

Help will be appreciated. I do not know if it is possible via ASP...

You would have to do a client side script to create the shortcut. I would imagine you need to use FSO (File System Object). Problem I see is getting the users permission to do this. At least it is a problem if your not creating malware.

Thanks Cris! That script really worked! Altough it asked me if I really want to create the icon. I guess it depends on IE's security settings.
