>hi all,
>i was wondering if there was a piece of java code, or anything else, that a user could click on on a web page and it would create an icon on their desktop. want that icon to be a link to a web site.

I'd be surprised, and a little alarmed if this were possible. You're asking that code be allowed to drop an arbitrary file in an arbitrary location on your local HD - a major security risk.

What might be possible, instead, would be to create an entry in a user's Favourites/Bookmarks. But, I don't know the details on how to do that.
Regards. Al
