Wow, you got it! Well almost. It does put the icons on the desktop, and they do work, sort of. They are in edge, which isn't a big problem, but they aren't full screen. But hopefully there is a...

I tried that. The "create shortcut" isn't there for me.

That was the first thing I tried. The "change icon" that should be there isn't.

It isn't the "right" icon, but I downloaded it and will try it. If it works, that will prove there is something wrong with the icons I am making.

Interestingly, when I went to change the icon,...

I guess I didn't explain it properly.
The google calendar LINK works just fine, even after the icon disappears.
The only problem is with the icon associated with the link.

I have .64. Clicking on your link takes me to an update site, which thanks me for updating, but doesn't change anything.

I turned Google location on in the dashboard and put a location in Windows control panel. Neither one helped.

That would be a solution if my "Location" looked like torre's, but unfortunately it looks like the one I posted. Perhaps the question is how to get it to add the "set default".
