Creating a shortcut to an Internet URL is a very easy process in Setup Factory 6.0. It involves nothing more then using a Create Shortcut action and setting the Target file field to be the URL that you would like to shortcut to point to.

For example, if we wanted to create a shortcut to: http://www.indigorose.com/site/index.php on the end user's desktop our Create Shortcut action would look like this:

Folder: %Desktop%

Command Line Arguments:
Icon Index: 0
