CreateShortCut issue

I want to create a shortcut for a webpage which if i start it will start with the specified browser. Normaly you just have to right click on your desktop and create shortcut with this parameter :

example: 

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" http://google.com

Please help me i do not no how to remake it in NSIS.

So far i have:

Section

CreateShortCut "$SMPROGRAMS\html\google.lnk" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe http://google.com"

SectionEnd

As you can see the main problem that i cannot insert more " sign in this expression

Solution

  • A URL shortcut is not actually a .lnk, just do:

    WriteINIStr "$SMPROGRAMS\html\google.url" "InternetShortcut" "URL" "http://google.com"

    You can also set a custom icon.

    If you want to force it to open in a specific browser (not a good idea) you can do:

    CreateShortCut "$SMPROGRAMS\html\google.lnk" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" "http://google.com"
