Shortcuts w/ Favicon?

The shortcut works fine, but I can't seem to get it to use the
favorite icon.

$wsh = new-object -com "WScript.Shell"
$FileName = "C:\Documents and Settings\xxx\Desktop\CNN.lnk"
$shortcut = $wsh.CreateShortcut($FileName)
$shortcut.IconLocation = "http://www.cnn.com/favicon.ico"
$shortcut.TargetPath = "http://www.cnn.com"
$shortcut.Save()

What am I missing?

As far as I remember .LNK files generally do not support IconLocation beeing
specified as an URL. Internet Shortcut files (.URL) do.

$isc= @'
[InternetShortcut]
URL=http://www.cnn.com/
IconFile=http://www.cnn.com/favicon.ico
IconIndex=1
'@
sc "$($env:userprofile)\Desktop\CNN.url" $isc

The IconIndex=1 is nonsense of course, it's a leftover from my sample file.
