Why can`t I put a `Shortcut` of it on my Desktop?

[jaydah]

You could copy the address in a Word page, press Ctrl & left click to open. Or put it in your browser Bookmarks - but not top of the list as you'll never escape.

No need to go to all that trouble, jaydah; you can simply drag the logo that appears in the address bar to you desktop. That will work in both Firefox and Internet Explorer

Thanx Rojash - I didn't know that. More to mess up my desktop !

[carlton23]

Confused as usual: How do I do as rojash suggests if when I switch on my PC there is no address bar showing to drag and drop until I engage AB? Sorry if I`m not up to it yet.

I can't understand why Iv'e just tried right clicking anywhere on a blank part of the page, a box appears and one of the choices is "Create Shortcut" simples.
(in IE that is)

"there is no address bar showing to drag and drop until I engage AB"

You go to AB in the usual way, then drag the shortcut to your desktop

After that, the next time you want to go to AB, you just double-click the shortcut

I think maybe the problem is not minimizing the page first,so you have both the page and the desktop showing.I have managed to do it this way and I am a dunce at computers!
Good luck
