[Guest olbidux]

Hello,

i've been searching in the forums how to add an internet favorite - did'nt get any answer.

Any of the Autoit community could give me e clue ?

The aim is to deploy an internet favorite over 500 workstations avoiding an unicode caracter not understood by Linux samba3.xx

Thank you

Hello,

Is it an AutoIt related questions?

You couls use either GPO, Logon script to manage IE favorite or maybe copy the shortcut in the user profile.

Hope this help

I found this in vbs, and ran it through the vbs --> au3 converter, cleaned it up a bit and here you go!!

Const $ADMINISTRATIVE_TOOLS = 6

            $objShell = ObjCreate("Shell.Application")
            $objFolder = $objShell.Namespace($ADMINISTRATIVE_TOOLS) 
            $objFolderItem = $objFolder.Self     

            $objShell = ObjCreate("WScript.Shell")
            $strDesktopFld = $objFolderItem.Path


            $objURLShortcut = $objShell.CreateShortcut($strDesktopFld & "\Yahoo.url")
            $objURLShortcut.TargetPath = "http://www.yahoo.com"
            $objURLShortcut.Save()
