A while back I created a couple of internet shortcut files to sit in my quick launch tool bar. I have one that opens the Avian forums and I have another that launches the SWG forums. You can see both files below:

IconIndex=0
IconFile=C:\WINDOWS\Avian.ICO


I would like to know how can I make these shortcuts open in a new window. Right now I do not like how they open in any existing IE window. Usually the webpages I have open are opened for a reason. The ability to have these shortcuts open their own window would be a great thing for me.

Do any of you know how this can be done? It seems like if you can make a hyperlink open its own window, I should be able to do the same with a shortcut.

Well hell, I did it a whole diffrent way. I right clicked on my desktop, choose shortcut, then entered:

Code:
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" http://forums.station.sony.com/swg

or
Code:
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" http://www.swg-avian.net/forums/


I then set the icons to the ones I like to use. And lastly I droped them into my quicklaunch toolbar. Easy enough.

Could anyone make an icon of the Avian logo?
I could, but the programs is on my stationary back home.

Good question Azz, maybe someone with skills can help us out.

In the mean time...
Don't laugh....

This is the one I use... it is not very good, but it is not too bad when sized for my quick launch.
