desktop shortcut to URL + Icon chage
Hi All,
I am using the CreateURL macro to create a desktop shortcut to a URL
it works great - BUT I AM LOOKING FOR A WAY TO CHANGE THE SHORTCUT ICON
can anyone please help!!!?
----The Macro---
!Macro "CreateURL" "URLFile" "URLSite" "URLDesc"
WriteINIStr "$EXEDIR\${URLFile}.URL" "InternetShortcut" "URL" "${URLSite}"
----The usage
!insertmacro "CreateURL" "williamhill ****** Flash" "http://www.google.com" "williamhill ****** Flash"
WriteINIStr "$desktop\${URLFile}.URL" "InternetShortcut" IconIndex=0
WriteINIStr "$desktop\${URLFile}.URL" "InternetShortcut" "IconFile=$windir\explorer.exe"
NOTE: The MS guidelines tell you to not create anything on the desktop.
not sure that this is what I need
Anders, thank you very much
I am not sure that this is what I seek for
1. I need internet shortcut - I have it
2. I want it to be with Icon that I provide and not the default browser icon (in my case internet explorer)
3.my setup do nothing but creating this shortcut.
4. the icon does not exist in any exe in any PC it is mine
Hope you can help with that
Thanks in advance
Oren
