I don't know about N9 if it has filebox cuz this is how I do it on N900

PHP Code:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=0.13
Type=Application
Name=MyFile
Exec=filebox '/home/user/.......path to file'
Icon=myicon

that code I mentioned earlier is to open a certain folder/file. but if you wanna open an html link or a picture then it is different. you need to call the browser. you're aiming to open an html file?

=====

if that's the case, let's say you wanna make a google link shortcut. you'll have to change the Exec line too look like this:
PHP Code:
Exec=/usr/bin/browser_dbuscmd.sh load_url http://www.google.com 
This is the case with N900

OK, I have to call Internet Browser but it must open my (local) HTML file located on MyDocs. How to inform the path to a file?

As usual, check the Wiki before asking a question. It has a good run-down on .desktop files and the different applicable entries.

I didn't find this information, that's why I'm asking here...

have you tried typing the url of your file ( file:///home/user/MyDocs/<html file name> ) in the browser and then "add to home" like any website?
