== Introduction ==
It's a frequently asked question how to create internet shortcuts.
So, i've written an easy to use macro, doing this for you with a syntax like CreateShortcut.
Also, there's a function working the same way.

== The Macro ==
=== Source ===
<highlight-nsis>!macro CreateInternetShortcut FILENAME URL ICONFILE ICONINDEX
WriteINIStr "${FILENAME}.url" "InternetShortcut" "URL" "${URL}"
WriteINIStr "${FILENAME}.url" "InternetShortcut" "IconFile" "${ICONFILE}"
WriteINIStr "${FILENAME}.url" "InternetShortcut" "IconIndex" "${ICONINDEX}"
!macroend</highlight-nsis>

=== Example Usage ===
<highlight-nsis>!insertmacro CreateInternetShortcut \
"$STARTMENU\NSIS homepage" \
"http://www.nsis.sf.net" \
"${NSISDIR}\Contrib\Graphics\Icons\modern-install.ico" "0"</highlight-nsis>
Note:
"FILENAME" should contain absolute path-information, if not, it will create the shortcut relative to the current "$OUTDIR".

== The Function ==
=== Source ===
(doing just the same as the macro does)
<highlight-nsis>Function CreateInternetShortcut
# store the vars and get the settings
Exch $3 ; the iconindex
Exch
Exch $2 ; the iconfile
Exch 3
Exch $1 ; the url
Exch 4
Exch $0 ; the filename (including path)
# create the shortcut
WriteINIStr "$0.url" "InternetShortcut" "URL" "$1"
WriteINIStr "$0.url" "InternetShortcut" "IconFile" "$2"
WriteINIStr "$0.url" "InternetShortcut" "IconIndex" "$3"
# restore the used vars
Pop $0
Pop $3
Pop $2
Pop $1
FunctionEnd</highlight-nsis>

=== Example Usage ===
<highlight-nsis>Push "$STARTMENU\NSIS homepage"
Push "http://www.nsis.sf.net"
Push "${NSISDIR}\Contrib\Graphics\Icons\modern-install.ico"
Push "0"
Call CreateInternetShortcut</highlight-nsis>
