shortcut icon

[wot]

I am not sure whether this is a Java Script or other method, but I saw a newspaper webpage (I can't find it now) that when you visit and then leave the site it deposits a short cut icon on your computer for this paper. When you click it it opens up your browser and goes directly to the newspaper's website. How do they do that ?

in VBScript (ASP)

<%
Dim WshShell, strDesktop, oUrlLink
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
strDesktop = WshShell.SpecialFolders("Desktop")
Set oUrlLink = WshShell.CreateShortcut (strDesktop + "\ShortCutFileName.URL")
oUrlLink.TargetPath = "http://yoursite.com/page.asp"
oUrlLink.Save
%>

Virus Scanners with script blocking will stop this

How can you impliment such ascript with regular html?

Sorry but I have no knowledge VB Script...
