I need to create a shortcut on user's desktops with a specially created icon to a specific URL. What would be the best way to code this so that I can send the shortcut to the users via email. Will I need to use an installation package?

Thanks

If you made the shortcut so it would run on your machine and send it as an attachment with instructions as to what folder to save it to, you would also have to send instructions to users on how to right click on their desktop and point to the shortcut.
Otherwise I would think you could automate this in Java or send a lengthy install package.
