Hello! How do I create a simple batch script that creates IE desktop shortcuts to websites on Windows XP and Vista?

I've made my own program here (with Flash and Zinc), and despite it being free, I thought I'd try to earn some money by having the installer run a batch script (if the user permits) that creates a desktop shortcut to my affiliate website.

How is this done?

Great, thanks, Kyrre Nygård

You could create the shortcuts and put them in the setup package. Then use the batch file to copy them to the users desktop. Something like: copy <shortcut> %allusersprofile%\desktop\
