I can't speak for the Mac, but web page shortcuts on Windows ARE just plain
text files with the .url extension. For instance, use Notepad or an
equivalent text editor and save the following as "test.url"
[InternetShortcut]
URL=http://www.macromedia.com
And as others have already mentioned, you'll need an Xtra to save anything
to the user's desktop. If for no other reason than to discover where the
deskTop folder is on any given system. You'll need an Xtra to write the
file, too, whether it's an alias, text file, or any other type of information.
