Hi all,
This is my first question to this mailing list.
The question is :
Hi,
How do I make a script which will create an Internet Shortcut of Internet
Explorer in my desktop?
I was successful in doing it in Netscape using the following script :
-------------------------------SCRIPT--------------------
property file_type : "URL "
tell application "Netscape Communicator" to set my_url to
"
http://www.hotmail.com";
tell application "Finder"
try
set the_url_file_path to choose file name
set the_url_file to open for access the_url_file_path with write permission
set eof of the_url_file to 0
write my_url to the_url_file
close access the_url_file
set creator type of the_url_file_path to "MOSS"
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
--------------------------END SCRIPT------------------------
This script will create a Netscape Bookmark on my desktop.
I want the same functionality in IE browser
I tried doing it in a similar fashion with file type "LINK" and creator type
"MSIE". It opens the IE browser but does not take the URL.
How do I do it? Please help me
Ann.
