shortcut to point Netfront to a specific location?

I want to make a shortcut to point Netfront to a specific URL without
requiring the user to change his default browser to Netfront (if he did
that, of course a .url InternetShortcut would work).
I've tried the obvious:
255#"\Program Files\Netfront3\Netfront3.exe"
"file:///Program%20Files/My%20Program/html/index.html"
And Netfront starts all right but ignores the URL and just displays
whatever page was last cached.

OK, let's forget about that problem, I've decided to require the user
to make NetFront the default. Now I've made a .url file, let's call it
MyApp.url, like so:
[InternetShortcut]
URL=file:///Program%20Files/My%Application/html/index.html
IconFile=\Program Files\My Application\myapp.ico
IconIndex=0
The shortcut works -- it takes me to the URL. Unfortunately, the icon
doesn't. No way in hell will it show me anything but the Explorer icon
on the file. On my desktop computer, with the same setup, the .url file
works perfectly. Any clues on what magic Pocket PC 2003 needs to get
the icon specification to work?
