    I can’t seem to figure out how to create a short cut from my golf course’s web site to my desktop. I’ve right clicked everything in sight, but no dialog box appears to create a shortcut. You say in your book on page 92-93 that web addresses can be shortcutted, but I can’t do it. HELP!!

    Ah, CP, you’re working too hard!

    Look at the Web browser’s address bar. To the left of the http://blah.blah.blah you see an icon. Click on that icon and drag it to the desktop. Viola!

    1. It would be nice to know what book
      page 92 was on.
      PS – I love that viola!

    2. You can also pick “File:Send:Shortcut to Desktop” from the menu bar (if you have it enabled.)
