If you want Edge to open the page then you can do this:
Type
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?".Code:microsoft-edge:https://www.google.com
If you want Internet Explorer to start Google then type:
orCode:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" https://www.google.comCode:"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" https://www.google.com
If you want FireFox to start google then type:
orCode:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox exe" https://www.google.com
Code:"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox exe" https://www.google.com
I just go to the site desired and when loaded click the tiny icon at the left end of the URL/Address bar and drag to the desktop or Taskbar. Or from the Bookmarks/Favorites list or from the Quick Launch Toolbar [depending upon what is in use].
This is not a web browser, so we will ignore this completely.
In Edge browser you can NOT do the Drag and Drop to Desktop.
Information
DO THIS:
- Right click with your mouse on your desktop
- In the menu that pop up, navigate to New with your mouse cursor
- Now you see a second menu, navigate to Shortcut and click it
- In the new dialog box TYPE:
Code:https://www.google.co.uk- Press Enter on your keyboard
- In the next dialog box TYPE:
Code:- Press ENTER on your keyboard
- Now you have Google on your desktop
- 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.
