Whereabouts do I find "My Computer" please? It is a simple "Google" shortcut I am after, definitely not "Chrome".

You right-click on your desktop and create a new shortcut just like in the screenshots. That icon I made a screenshot of is not Chrome, but a link to Google search engine. The icon is Chrome since I made chrome my default browser.

If you want Edge to open the page then you can do this:

Type

Code:

microsoft-edge:https://www.google.com

instead of just "https://www.google.com" in the box when the dialog box asks "What item do you want to create a shortcut for?".



If you want Internet Explorer to start Google then type:

Code:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" https://www.google.com

or

Code:

"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" https://www.google.com

If you want FireFox to start google then type:

Code:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox exe" https://www.google.com

or

Code:

"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox exe" https://www.google.com

This is not a web browser, so we will ignore this completely.

I do not see any little icon at the end of the address bar, I am quite sure there is nothing there?

In Edge browser you can NOT do the Drag and Drop to Desktop.

   Information

DO THIS:

1. Right click with your mouse on your desktop
2. In the menu that pop up, navigate to New with your mouse cursor
3. Now you see a second menu, navigate to Shortcut and click it
4. In the new dialog box TYPE:
   Code:

   https://www.google.co.uk

5. Press Enter on your keyboard
6. In the next dialog box TYPE:
   Code:

   Google

7. Press ENTER on your keyboard
8. Now you have Google on your desktop
9. DONE

Each time you double click with your left mouse button on that Google icon on your desktop your web browser will open the Google-page

I can not make this more clear than this. Hope you figure it out.
