To do what you want, you need to create a Windows shortcut. If the shortcut points to a web address, the system’s default browser will open, with a new tab already focused and loading the address specified in the shortcut.

To create a Windows shortcut programmatically, you can use the tool MKLINK system. You can make a program in your preferred language that invokes this program, with the necessary parameters (detailed in the link above).

If you want to do this on another operating system, edit the question to include this information, ok?

  • is a VBS I need, but needed to do this on Android

  • In this case I recommend you take a look at this link, from a question in the matrix OS: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5676090/android-is-there-a-programming-way-to-create-a-web-shortcut-on-home-screen . What you want is possible, you just have to follow the steps indicated in the answers from there.
