There's probably a much more elegant way of doing this, but the following
method worked fine for me...
tell application "Finder"
set thePathToTheDesktop to path to the desktop
set theFile to (thePathToTheDesktop & "theurl.url") as text
try
close access file theFile
end try
open for access file theFile with write permission
write "[InternetShortcut]
URL=
http://www.yahoo.com/
" to file theFile
close access file theFile
set the file type of file theFile to "LINK"
set the creator type of file theFile to "MSIE"
end tell
Good luck!
R.
