Desktop Icon

Post by ammupon »

Is it possible to create a desktop icon (as in VB), for my application, so that users can access the form from their desktop to make complaints? I am using PHP with MS SQL. Please Help!

Thanks in Advance!

This has absolutely nothing to do with Databases. Welcome to the boards, but please take the time to make sure you're making threads in appropriate forums.

Moving to General Discussion.
Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.

The two are actually unrelated, but yes, you can do it fairly easily. Just create an icon of the appropriate size, use it as a desktop shortcut, and have the "target" of the shortcut be an http link to your site. They will have to do the actual installation of it, but you can send them the icon with instructions on how to install it.
