Hello All,
Without having to write a text file to the target machine is there a way
from a button in director to put a web page shortcut on a persons desktop(pc
and mac)?
I can't speak for the Mac, but web page shortcuts on Windows ARE just plain
text files

text files with the .url extension. For instance, use Notepad or an
equivalent text editor and save the following as test.url
oops, right. sorry. I was looking at regular shortcuts, which are

Not sure what you mean about not writing a file to the target machine, as
creating a shortcut IS a filebut you could look to budapi.

1 - FWIW - shortcuts alisaes are NOT text files.
2 - you can't do it without writing a file to the user's computer,
with or without an Xtra.
