Need help with url shortcuts

Hi,

I'm a NSIS newbie and I'm facing a problem.

I want to install an url shortcut in the startmenu but it doesn't work. If I create it on the desktop or a place on the harddrive, it works.

I've try with :

WriteIniStr    "$STARTMENU_FOLDER\test.url" "InternetShortcut" "URL" "URL=http://nsis.com"
Lobo Lunar macro 


Name "Create Internet Shorcut"

OutFile "makeURL.exe"



!Macro "CreateURL" "URLFile" "URLSite" "URLDesc" "WhereFile"

WriteINIStr "${WhereFile}\${URLFile}.url" "InternetShortcut" "URL" "${URLSite}"

SetShellVarContext "current"

CreateShortCut "${WhereFile}\${URLFile}.lnk" "C:\${URLFile}.url" "" "$EXEDIR\makeURL.exe" 0 "SW_SHOWNORMAL" "" "${URLDesc}"

!macroend



Function ".onInit"

!insertmacro "CreateURL" "TEST URL" "http://nsis.sf.net" "Visit NSIS Development Site" "$STARTMENU_FOLDER"

MessageBox MB_OK "Done"

Quit

FunctionEnd



Section "-boo"

;

SectionEnd
And none of these seems to work.

Thanks in advance for your help.

This doesn't work neither superman. In fact i've try this (find on an older topic) :
 WriteINIStr "$SMPROGRAMS\Test\Page.url" \

"InternetShortcut" "URL" "http://quantlib.org/"
It works but $SMPROGRAMS\Test have to exist.

Thx.
