I want to put a shortcut on a web page (internal intranet) that can be copied
or dragged to the user desktop. Frontpage gives me an error every time I try
and copy this short cut file to the htm page. I don't want a hyperlink, this
works just fine.
 
You have to create a hyperlink, you can not drag a file onto a page in FP from your desktop or
create a shortcut. Shortcuts don't work on the web.

A desktop short cut is actually a file.
Create your shortcut, then open windows explorer and browse to C:\Documents and
Settings\UserName\Desktop

Right click the shortcut and select Send To . Compressed (zipped) folder

Import the zipped folder to the web and create a link to it.
Then have the users download the zip, and unzip it to their desktop.

Way too complicated. This just a simple "fake" internal web site. Just wanted
to make it a little easier for the users to get access to the program of
interest than having to go through our internal web tree. I can easily talk
them through the normal drag and drop process from the network subdirectory
whcih they all have access to, just don't really know it.

thanks
 
Yes, you could Drag & Drop -- open the web page (not Maximize, so you could
see your desktop), drag the small blue "e" favicon
http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/f/favicon.html and drop it onto your desktop,
rearrange it. If you've create a unigue favicon and named it in your webpage
code the better it will shows.
