Description

This code will create an internet shortcut on someone's computer. All you have to do it call it with a path and hyperlink!

Path- path should be complete with filename ending in url (e.g. "C:\Shortcut.url")

Hyperlink- this is the complete website address

So easy I think you can handle it.
