Hi all,
so what I'm trying to do is to create an icon on the application menu that takes you to a website once it's launched (or to start a flash game in a saved directory). I've been trying this for the past 2 days and used different types of codes and still no use. Here's the latest I've done so far :

PHP Code:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Icon=cimb
Type=Link
URL[$e]=http://www.mobile.cimbclicks.com.my/ 
I placed "cimb" icon on the scalable icons directory:
/home/opt/usr/Share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon

Where I named the code file "cimb.desktop" and placed it in:
/usr/share/applications/hildon

This is the first time I make "Link" type of desktop entry. What exactly am I missing?
Thanx in a advance,


p/s: sorry if I posted this thread in the wrong section as I realized it too late.
