Alan,
I'm not getting your last suggestion to work. (By the way, I'm running
Windows 2000.)
In doing what you claim works, I find that if I go to an existing shortcut
in the quick-launch menu, right-click on that shortcut and choose
'properties", I can then select the 'Web Document' tab. That tab shows a
textbox called "URL", it is in there that I place, as an example, the
following text:
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"
http://dts-l.org/index.html
But then when I attempt to launch that shortcut, it does not take me to the
expected site.
It dose, however, open a new instance of iexplore - but with an unobtainable
address.
What is more, if I go back and look at the 'URL' textbox, I notice that it
has changed. It now reads:
http://"c:/Program Files/Internet Explorer/iexplore.exe"
http://dts-l.org/index.html
I think you are on the right track. What is needed is to point to the URL to
the program of choice (in this case iexplore), but it seems that I (we?)
have still not mastered the process of feeding arguments to that program.
What do you think?
