Create desktop shortcut

[free2hidden]

Dear Friends,
I have to create desktop a shortcut for some resons for all clients pc's and it works perfectlly without any problem, but I found that I must enable ActiveX for IE ( Tools->Internet Options->Security->Internet->Custom ).and I don't have a domain to do it from one place so could any one tell me how to create a shortcut without checking ActiveX . I need it very well.
I used this code .
//////////////////////////////
function shortcut()
{

var WshShell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
strDesktop = WshShell.SpecialFolders("Desktop");
var oShellLink = WshShell.CreateShortcut(strDesktop + "\\out.url");
oShellLink.TargetPath = "%%OUT%%" ;
oShellLink.Save();
}
/////////////////////////////
Thanks,

so could any one tell me how to create a shortcut without checking ActiveX

Or better yet, a way to put a pornographic image on their desktop. Or better yet, how about a way to put 99999 icons on their desktop? Or better yet, how about a way to install a virus on their pc?

Seriously, the ActiveX warnings exist for a reason. Your motives may be pure, but that doesn't mean you should get unhindered access to the user's pc. If this was the case, the deviants that would do the things I listed above would able to freely do so.

You're just going to have to face the facts - if you want to change any settings on a user's computer you'll have to use ActiveX - which means that you're going to have to get the user's permission first, and rightly so.

You have no reason to put the function in a html page. Put those script (5) lines in a text file and save it with an extension .js. Set the script file as a login script or let the user double-click on it. If it is on a local network, you have all the arsenal of administrative scripting technology at your disposal.

don't have a domain to do it from one place

does this mean you can't fire logon scripts for users? and no-one is on a network.

Are these standalone PC's with nothing but an internet connection?
