Creating Internet Shortcuts in Windows

Creating Internet Shortcuts in Windows

Do you need to create a Firefox or Internet Explorer shortcut to your website in a client’s desktop? To create an internet shortcut just create a new text file where the file extension is URL. The internet shortcut extension needs to be capitalized to URL. As an example, I’ll create a Juixe.URL file and simply place it the desktop. Open the newly created text file with your favorite text editor such as SciTE and add text like the following.

[InternetShortcut]
URL=http://www.juixe.com/

Even though we created a simple text file, it will have the icon of your default browser with the little shortcut arrow in the bottom left. If you double click on the newly created internet shortcut, a simple URL file, it will open your default browser to the indicated URL.
