Put a Shortcut on the Desktop

Share      

Sometimes you arrive on a web site that you absolutely want to come back to over-and-over again, but you don’t want to find it in a list of favorites. To get quick access to a web site you can put a shortcut on your desktop. When you are on the page you want to create a web shortcut to just right-click the page, and left-click Create Shortcut.

Now Internet Explorer will ask "Do you want to put a shortcut to this website on your desktop?" Click Yes.

There is a second way. Shrink your Internet Explorer window. Use the restore button in the upper right corner of Internet Explorer, then grab and edge and make the window smaller until you can see an empty space on the desktop.

Now go to the address bar and left click the "e" just like you see below. Hold the left mouse button down and drag the shortcut web address out to the desktop.

Now let go of the left mouse button, and you’ve got your shortcut. Right-click the shortcut and rename it if you need to. To access the web site again simply double click the shortcut, and the site loads.
