I would suggest to the user when he enters my system create a site shortcut on his computer, this can be done manually by going to "Mais Ferramentas -> Adicionar a área de trabalho":

How could I do this programmatically? Is there any Chrome api or native function that allows?

javascript google-chrome

  • This is not only possible with Javascript, probably for security reasons.

  • It could be done as Notifications API, show a notification asking for permission, following this format there would be no security problem at all, the problem is to force the user to create a shortcut.

Man, if I were you I’d make a file .bat and would call his execution with Javascript.

The Javascript file:

var objetoMan = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var WshShell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
var oExec = WshShell.Exec("c:\\temp\\SeuArquivo.bat");

The archive .bat:

copy \\server\programa\NomeDoAtalho.lnk %userprofile%\desktop
