Subject: Hi Ladies, need some puter help

It's been a strange summer for me & the puter. I have not been able to get online, except for my email. so it has been a lonely summer. *sigh*

Here is my situation. My brother sent me a link for something on ebay. I clicked on it & it opened up. so at the top, where the search bar is, I typed in Voy 54161. and here I am. how can I put an icon on my desk top to get to Bing, so I can surf, come back here, etc?

To make a desktop shortcut I RIGHT click on the page of the forum I am at and want a shortcut to get back there. A box comes up and I choose "Create shortcut". This then puts the icon on the desktop. I hope this works for you.

You are welcome, Bonnie. I'm glad making the shortcut worked for you. I use my desktop shortcuts all of the time to get to the places I go the most.

You could also right click on a blank area of your desktop. In the box that comes up choose "new" or "new folder" whichever it says. Name it Desktop Shortcuts. That folder will appear on your desktop. Then when you make a shortcut to anywhere, you can click on the icon and "drag" it to that Desktop Shortcuts folder and it will put it in there. That saves having your desktop all cluttered up with so many different icons.
