The following steps will guide you through the process of creating a desktop shortcut to a website using Firefox, Chrome or Internet Explorer (IE).

  1. Resize your web browser so you can see the browser and the computer's desktop on the same screen.
  2. Click-and-drag the icon located on the left side of the address bar in the web browser to the computer desktop.

    NOTE:  When the mouse button is released, a shortcut to the website will be left on the computer's desktop.
