    I want to create a link on my website pages that when the user clicks it allows them to save a shortcut of the page to their desktop.

    Is this possible?

    thanks.

    I'm not sure that this is possible without using either ActiveX (Explorer), or a toolbar extension. Essentally browser
    security usually ensures that malicious websites cannot write files to any path on your system.

    Ok, thanks. Yeh I can imagine there would be security issues.
