You can use the below mentioned methods as per your requirement
You can also use the following VBScript
Option Explicit
Dim WshShell, strDesktopPath, objShortcutUrl
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
strDesktopPath = WshShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Desktop")
Set objShortcutUrl = WshShell.CreateShortcut(strDesktopPath & "\Google.lnk")
objShortcutUrl.TargetPath = "http://www.Google.com"
objShortcutUrl.IconLocation = "c:\windows\system32\shell32.dll,13"
objShortcutUrl.Save
Set WshShell = Nothing
Not sure of your deployment method, but you can create the shortcut on your desktop. Then copy that shorcut to a share then run
@echo off
copy "\\share\folder\url shortcut.website" "%allusersprofile%\desktop\url shortcut.website"
If you want it to run automatically:
Put in the startup "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore" "\\share\folder\url shortcut.website" or "http://webaddress"
You can also use Group Policy to publish this as a Bookmark in Internet Explore. And /or use login scripts to copy the shortcut over from a share.
I will say that Jagadeish has written a script which is really good to use.
