Thanks, I had already tried all of this. When I open the shortcut, it asks me which app to use.

I selected ebook-viewer.exe and then it opens the viewer with an error

Also, I'd prefer not to make ebook-viewer the default handler for .url files, so any other suggestions (perhaps a way of specifying the app as a parameter in the url section of the windows shortcut path?) would be appreciated.
