Desktop Icon

[secsee1]

I have an old laptop running win xp, yes old I know but quite easy to use, but how do I put on a desktop icon from websites that I use frequently?

Try:-

- RIGHT-Click on a blank / unused area of your Desktop
- Select 'New'
- Select 'Shortcut'
- In the ' Type Location of item' window, enter the desired web address e.g. HTTP://WWW.GOOGLE.COM (you could also copy and paste the address text from your web browser address bar if you initially access that page in your browser)
- Click 'Next'
- Enter a name for the shortcut that you want to appear on your desktop e.g. GOOGLE, then click 'Finish'

Simple method.:-

1) Open Website.
2) Reduce size of page.
3)Left click and hold the icon in address bar, immediately in front of www.
4)Slide to a blank space on screen and release.

Why not just save them as a favourite in whatever web browser you're using?

A massive thank you to all that answered, following what you told me I now have it sorted, I still can't why in the past when yuo got a website you wanted to keep all you did was right click on it and it used to say "do you want to put an icon on your desktop" what happened to that?
