can someone let me know how to put a shortcut to a website on my desktop
so that i can go directly to a site without having to go to
internet explorer first? is this possible?

something about a program not being associated with it..
thanks for any help....

Click to expand...


In IE's address bar, to the left of the URL of the site, there's
a big "e." Drag that "e" to the desktop.
 
To create a desktop shortcut to the current page. Right click in the page
and then click Create Shortcut. Click OK when you get the [A shorcut to the
current page will be placed on your desktop.] message.

Hope this helps. Let us know.
