How do I put a link to a website onto my desktop?

Question

Like, my mom has it with a whole lot of youtube videos. However, I want to do that too.

If you still don't understand what I'm trying to ask, its like having a shortcut to going straight to a website.

And no, I won't put it as my home page

Answer 1

IF you use a web browser such as firefox or IE, you can save the webpage, click on File in the tool bar menu, and click on Save as, that will save the web page that you were at, but i am not sure on how to do it On the Links......

Answer 2

Right-click on your desktop, click New > Shortcut. Then type the URL of the site you want to link in the Browse bit.

Answer 3

It is very simple. All you have to do, when you are viewing a website that you want a shortcut to, is right click on the page and select create shortcut. It will ask you if you want to put a link to the site on your desktop -just click yes. Done. No other hocus - pocus needed. Alternatively, when you right click you could select "Add to favorites" instead, which would store the shortcut in your favorites instead, and keep the desktop cleaner.
