[Deskcut] Deskcut suggestion...

[John G Walker]

This would not create a shortcut. It would create a proprietary file
disguised as a shortcut. And it wouldn't do what you wanted anyway.

What the shortcut does is sorted out locally. Why don't you have
separate logons for the different users (more secure) or, if that
isn't possible, create an extra option on the file menu, so opening
the URL with Firefox appears as an option when you right-click? This
is how I open web pages with Opera, so I know from experience that it
works quite neatly,

All the best,
