I than go to yahoo mail, homepage ect. How do I get yahoo back on my desk top and avoid going around the barn?

Answer 1

you don't need it on your desktop. when you go to yahoo and get to the login page, go to the menu - Tools, Internet Options, and at the top (home page) select 'use current'. Then every time you start explorer it will go directly to that page.

Answer 2

when on yahoo, search for yahoo toolbar and follow the links to 'install' the toolbar.

Once you are done it will have installed all the components in your browser and desktop and you can then go straight to your account and not via the barn !

Go to Yahoo! home page http://www.yahoo.com/ , click Start > Control Panel > Internet Options (or on Internet Explorer toollbar click Tools > Internet Options) > on the General tab under home page click Use current > click Apply and OK, or follow the directions below.

If you want a Yahoo! shortcut icon on your desktop, go to the Yahoo! page you want on your desktop. At the top of your screen click File, a menu drops down, put your mouse cursor on Send, a menu pops up, click Shortcut to Desktop.

Another way is go to the Yahoo! page you want on your desktop, right click on a blank space, a menu pops up, click Create Shortcut, a pop up asks "Do you want to put a shortcut to this website on your desktop", click Yes.
