If you frequently go to the same website, perhaps to check sports results, news or weather, it can be very handy to have an icon on the Desktop to click, to quickly open the web page. To achieve that, here is a method that works in Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Firefox. First close or minimise all programs. Now open your browser but minimise it enough to reveal some of the Desktop. Next, get the required web page up and look for a small icon that appears at the left end of the address box at top of the browser window (see picture above). Move the mouse pointer onto that icon and drag it onto a clear area of the exposed Desktop. You should find that you now have a clickable icon on your desktop that opens your web page.
