[thelist] Creating a desktop link to a web page

[Ken Schaefer]

Hi

a) Is some kind of timestamp - not sure how it works. I don't think you set
this yourself.

b) Use the IconFile and IconIndex properties
For favicon, I've seen:

IconFile=http://www.unsw.edu.au/favicon.ico
IconIndex=1

For embedded resources, the IconIndex seems to start at 0

IconFile=%systemroot%\system32\url.dll
IconIndex=0

HTH

Cheers
Ken

: Thanks, Ken - very useful.
:
: Two questions:
:
: 1. What is the "modified" attribute in the shortcut file? (See below for
an
: example.) Windows seems to add this automatically after you use the
: shortcut.
:
: 2. Any tips on how to specify the icon that windows will use for the
: shortcut on the desktop?
:
: Thanks in advance,
