I have find this :

"C:\Program Files\QlikView\Qv.exe" http://www.google.com

And in the shortcut properties :

[Or]

Pretty sure this has no chance of working - and even if it could work, it would just open google.com in your web browser.

If that's what you're trying to achieve, it's actually quite simple - set up a batch file that opens both QlikView and your browser (set to whatever URL you want) and point your shortcut at the batch file.

Amartinex35 actually has presented a working solution where as QlikView desktop version does not provide settings to automate this behavior. Just to clarify the required steps are:

1. create a new shortcut to desktop

2. when prompted for location of item navigate to qv.exe as suggested. Before confirming next add the url for your server's access point to separated by a space after the path to the qv.exe (eg. "C:\Program Files\QlikView\Qv.exe" http://your.qvserver.com/index.htm )

3. click next and give the shortcut a name. save.

4. now the shortcut opens qlikview desktop and directly opens up access point in it.
