How to create a smbolic link over the internet

I would like to be able to create a symbolic link over the internet, t开发者_JAVA技巧hat allows you to create a link that e.g. C:\Windows\test.txt to http://www.test.com/test.txt

Is this possible to do?

Is this possible to do?

No. You can create a Windows shortcut, but you can't create a symbolic link to an http site.

Yes. In Windows, a shortuct can either be a .lnk file or a .url file. The former works for local files, while the latter works for URLs.

The .lnk format is a bit difficult to work with manually, but for the sake of your question, you don't need it. The .url format, on the other hand, is just a plain text file. Example:

[{000214A0-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}]
Prop3=19,2
[InternetShortcut]
URL=http://google.com/
IDList=
HotKey=0
IconFile=C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe
IconIndex=4

To be honest, I don't know what the first two lines are for, but the shortcut still works without them.

You can even generate this file manually.
