Developer’s Description

Create shortcut buttons to load URL directly from your desktop.
Direct URL is a tool to load specific URL's for which you would not like to use a browser. You have each URL in its own application, which especially handy when you are using virtual desktops. Unzip the file, duplicate the object file, select the name of the new object, type the name of the website, press the RETURN-key to confirm the name change, and run the new object to load the URL from its name. If you would like to open a more complex web address, you can not use that address as the file name because the OS will not allow certain characters in file names. For these situations, you can name the copied object something like "My cool website", start it and then choose the Preferences menu-item. You can create a password to protect the URL from being changed by others.
