  • better way

    next to the url there is a icon

    the youtube icon foe example

    drag and crop it into your desktop haha!

  • Great tip...Thanks very much!

  • I have found an easier way - Next to the websites name there is a favicon (littlte picture), drag it to the desktop. Now that is easy!!

  • There is probably an easier way but I haven't found it yet. In the earlier Internet Explorer versions you could right click on the webpage in the favorites menu and send it to the desktop.

  • You can still use the right-click in your favorites menu, you just have to go to the "Send to" sub-menu. So right-click on the favorite, then point at "Send to" and click "Desktop (create shortcut". Dragging the favicon to the desktop is still the quicker and easier way and better because you can go ahead and place it where you want. But when creating instructions for that I feel the need to explain how to "restore down" a maximized window...
