Windows 10: Google desktop shortcut

Trying to put a Google Desk Top shortcut, not a Google chrome one. Can anyone help please. I am using Windows 10.

Cheers.

Google desktop shortcut

Tried taking battery out but still not in the widget list or lurking on any of my desktops.

 

Google desktop shortcut

Yes I deleted it from the desktop when deleting something else. I have checked & it is not just covered up.

 

Do the following:

 

Slicendice

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[/quote] 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[/quote] or Code: "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" https://www.google.com[/quote]

If you want FireFox to start google then type:
Code: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox exe" https://www.google.com[/quote] or
Code: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox exe" https://www.google.com[/quote]

 

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].

 

Thank you but it doesn't work for me, please see the screen shot. I cannot see any icon to drag and drop?

 

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

 

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[/quote]
• Press Enter on your keyboard
• In the next dialog box TYPE: Code: Google[/quote]
• 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.

 

An example of the results of what I mentioned:

Yes, in FF and Chrome you can do that, but OP is using Edge *Smile

 

Also in Internet Explorer. I don't use Edge except when required by updates.
