How to open browser at specific URL from desktop icon

#1 Post by bigpup »

(Thanks to SFR)

1.Create text file with this code:

(Example for seamonkey browser ->Puppy forum)
Code:
# /bin/sh

seamonkey http://murga-linux.com/puppy/

2. Save file with name you want. (do not use .txt at end of name)
3. In Rox (file manager) go to location you saved file.
4. Make file executable (right-click on file -> properties)
5. Drag file to desktop.
6. Right click on desktop icon for file.
To change name -> edit item
To change icon -> set icon
( normal icon set is located at /usr/local/lib/X11/pixmaps )
When selecting an icon to use, 48X48 is the size used for desktop icons. So, pick an icon that has 48 in its name.
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.
