I wouldnt bother trying.. Outlook 2007 and most other email clients will extract out the attachment anyway as they see a .url file as a security risk.. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
if you can send the link by zipping the .url file and outlook doenst strip it out - you may need to include the favicon.ico from your website in the zip and browsing to it for the icon in the properties of the shortcut..<br />
<br />
The other way is to provide a link to an msi installer that installs the shortcut onto the persons desktop - but this will only suffice for windows users and again..
