Roger, think the way I'd do it is as follows. (Bit long-winded, but
don't know of a shorter way.
Go to the page you want to have a desktop link to.
Go to the address field, (F6 should do this).
Copy the link which will be highlighted.
Press windows key plus D to get to the desktop.
Making sure the task bar's not visible, press right context key and
shoose new, and arrow out and down to new shortcut.
A wizzard should appear. Paste the URL you've copied into the new
shortcut location field.
Do alt-N for next.
In the new field that appears, Give the short cut a name that's easy
to recall and find.
Press finish, and you are done.
You won't be able to find the icon by typing the first letter of the
name you gave it as it's a shortcut. Type S repeatedly to get to it,
or use your find command.to
Alternatively, (You can also set up a shortcut key in the properties
box of the shortcut icon you've just created.
I've never reckoned to be good at explaining, so hope this works for
you.
Cheers,
From Ray

Hi All
I have a website I visit often and was thinking of setting up a
desktop icon
to speed up access to it. But nothing I do seems to work. Is it in
fact
possible to have an icon to a website? If so how is it done please.
Many thanks
Roger
