Hi Queen Ann,
As JJ said earlier:
-----------------------------------
You must write to the file anything such as:
[InternetShortcut]URL=
http://www.google.com/
JJ
----------------------------------
We've got to get this into the file you're creating. But I found that
Microsoft has included a character of ASCII 10 after the first return.
So when you write to the file you'll need to include that character. I
tested this with IE 5.0 running in classic mode in 10.1.3. See if this
works for you:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
property file_type : "LINK"
set my_url to "
http://www.yahoo.com/";
tell application "Finder"
activate
try
set the_url_file_path to choose file name
set the_url_file to open for access [NO BREAK]
the_url_file_path with write permission
set eof of the_url_file to 0
write "[InternetShortcut]" & (ASCII character 13) & [NO BREAK]
(ASCII character 10) & "URL=" & my_url to the_url_file
close access the_url_file
set creator type of the_url_file_path to "MSIE"
set file type of the_url_file_path to file_type
on error errTxt number errNum
if errNum * -128 then close access the_url_file
end try
end tell
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Hope it helps!
Jay
