This _SHOULD_ be impossible under standard browser security settings. Your easiest offering is an "Add to Favourites" link which can be done using JavaScript.

Cheers Dmorrsion I had suggested that to my associate - and as my associate pointed out this does not ensure the icon is visible ouitside if IE. Let me expalin whay we need this - The Code will be used as part of an HTML page in a CDROM we are compiling for new users of the website/intranet and local network applications. It will be used to link the webpages and applications available through the network to a users desktop. We thought if you could apply this users could pick and choose a number of icons to add to the desktop from selection within a webpage. Did that make sense? Ta

You are going to need to write a program to do this. If it is a windows machine then a small VB app should be pretty straight foward. You just need to create a shortcut and add it to the desktop folder.

Thanks Korkus Well I had not planned in dabbling the scripting of Programs - but I do have a colleague with a little experience of VB. I'll (he'll ;) )give it a shot. Thanks for the advice.

You might want to check out the "Visual Studio Installer", available for free at Microsoft: [msdn.microsoft.com...] This one is for all the registry entries, shortcuts, etc. for your installation.
