yeps, but in that section it is only for the Install shield Express, not for the VFP wizard

here is a copy
>>>Is there any way to have Installshield Express create a desktop shortcut to an URL target during installation? It seems all shortcut targets have to be local files.

>>I don't know InstallShield Express, but if it allows you to create a desktop shourtcut, you should be able to do this. Just use "url" as the extension for the shortcut, rather than "lnk" and set the target path to the URL. Using the Shell application object, it'd look like this
* Create the Shell reference
>>oShell = CREATEOBJECT("WScript.Shell")
>>* Get the current desktop
>>lcdesktop = oShell.SpecialFolders("Desktop")
>>* Create the shortcut
>>oLink = oShell.CreateShortcut(lcdesktop + "\Universal Thread.url")
>>* Set the target
>>oLink.TargetPath = "http://www.levelextreme.com"
>>* Save it
>>oLink.Save()

The icon isn't changeable (at least via the WScript.Shell). I just RTFM'd to be sure.
