Creating Web Page Shortcuts

Instead of adding a Web page to the Internet Explorer Favorites folder, you can create a shortcut to the Web on your computer’s desktop. That way, you can open the Web page (and launch Internet Explorer at the same time, if it’s not already open) simply by clicking the shortcut icon.

To place a shortcut to a Web page on your desktop, follow these steps:

In the Internet Explorer browser, open the Web page to which you want to create a shortcut.

Choose File, Send, Shortcut to Desktop.

Internet Explorer creates a shortcut to the current Web page, with the title of the page beneath a Web icon. To rename the Web page shortcut, click the Show Desktop button on the Quick Launch toolbar to display the desktop and then right-click the new shortcut icon and choose Rename from its shortcut menu.

After editing characters or replacing the entire name, press Enter.
