I have an App in Google Chrome and would like to put a link on my site that will cause you to create a shortcut on the user’s desktop. I know you have how to create by clicking the right mouse button and create shortcut, but I would like a script that does this.

In what language should I do?

    Javascript does not access operating system resources, even browser resources are very limited. Because if he did that, it would be a very big security breach. Anyone could create "things" on your computer, like viruses among others for example.

  • So why is there the command to create shortcut on the Desktop web in the Chrome Apps?

  • And what is this command? This is probably a Chrome feature, not belonging to Javascript.

  • Yes it is Chrome. So I asked if possible javascript, if not Javascript have any idea how to do it?
