Example:Wife uses My Food Diary all the time. It is not a program on the hard drive but a web site.She wants a desk top icon to simplify loading it up all the time.Can this be done and how?thanx

You should mention what operating system you have. And what browser does she use? I believe every browser has bookmark capability. In Chrome, I have a ribbon of bookmarks to frequently visited web pages in a ribbon across the top, just under the url address.

Right click and create a short cut.

Open web page.. Copy URL close or minimize browserOn a blank space on desktop right click Choose NEW from the menu and SHORTCUT from the sub menuIn the LOCATION field paste (The URL you copied)Click NEXT In the name field have fun. (Put name of web site)Click next That should do it.

Thanks wa8, worked like a charm.Dave

We have forty or so SHORT CUT LINKS on our DESKTOP. They got so many I had to create a DESKTOP FOLDER named LINK FOLDER and move of those links to it. Now I only have one link folder taking up space on the desktop.My desktop is usually a scene of some sort of groups of pictures we have taken and is in SLIDE SHOW mode changing views every few seconds.. Right now i am just displaying STARRY NIGHTS views. Then I might switch to one of our favorite RV CAMP GROUND groups of photos etc... I only have maybe five or six LINK ICON FOLDERs down the left hand side on my desk top screen. The rest are located in the bottom TASKBAR for the main things I jump to...I am also a big fan of DUAL SCREEN with remote keyboard - mouse- speakers for my LAPTOP SETUP which is setting in the corner with the lid down. My two screens are 24-inch DEL MONITORS...When we go camping I just grab the laptop and plop it down into a similar setup in my RV SETUP. Have all my data stuff with me at all times doing it this way...Roy Ken
