Desktop Shortcut to a Website

see below ## Deliverables Ok. Here's a little Info before I tell you what I'm looking for... Recently, I came across a simple script called 'Bookmark Reward System'. Go here and see a DEMO - <[login to view URL]> Download it - <[login to view URL]> - you'll need it later. Now, what it does it quite simple. A visitor visits a website. He/she is asked to bookmark the site for easy returning. & when they click on the 'bookmark us' link, the script does TWO job. (1) it bookmarks the current site and (2) it opens a new window after adding the site to Favorites, where the visitor can download something for free as a thank-you for bookmarking. All marketing stuff. Nothing new... Now here's what I'm LOOKING for... Can you write a script which can (1) create a SHORT-CUT to the current WEBSITE on the user's DESKTOP with an eye-catching FAV-ICON? when the visitor clicks on the 'add Shortcut' link and (2) open a new window simultaneously where I can give them a freebie as a thank-you to adding a Short-cut? Now, I know, there is a security issue here. (even bookmarking was a security issue when it first came up, isn't it?). I'm not a technical guy, but according to my understanding, a bookmarking script calls the 'add to favorites' function (manually the visitor has to click Favorites -> Add to Favorites). Now, the same way... can YOU make a script to call File -> Send -> Shortcut to Desktop function? i have visited some websites (like casino sites), which automatically place a short-cut to their website (without the user's permission) on the desktop. (this is not legal i know. it could contain spyware). But, cant we do this legally (using the visitors permission) by using a script and a CLICKABLE LINK or something? If you think you can do this, get it touch or give me a quote. We'll start the Negotiation :) PS. I found some resources while searching the net. This could be of help to you like a starting point... ---> <[login to view URL]> <[login to view URL]> <[login to view URL]> <[login to view URL]> <[login to view URL]> <[login to view URL]> ## Platform in all 3.0+ versions of Internet Explorer and Netscape[][1]
