  2. Desktop Shortcut Icons

    Hi Mik-Dav,

    The desktop shortcut created for a specific website should bear the website's actual logo. With what you've experienced, there could be something wrong with how the shortcut was created.

    If you've created the shortcut by selecting Create shortcut, then we suggest that you try the other way, that is by dragging the website icon that appears in the address bar to your desktop. Follow these steps:

    • Using Internet Explorer, access a website.
    • Once the website opens, you will see its icon in the address bar.
    • Click and drag the icon on your desktop.

    The website shortcut bearing its actual logo should now be saved on your desktop.

    Let us know if you need further help.

    Regards.

    1. Press Windows + R key on your keyboard together.

    How to create shortcuts on desktop?

    Thank you both (the person asking the question and the Microsoft tech responding to the questions) about the lack of ability to create shortcuts to the Windows 10 desktop... I was so frustrated by the whole thing that I was getting ready to ask for help
    as to how to delete the whole new Windows 10 edition!! On all my computers! I have a question to add to this discussion...I have the same issue about creating desktop shortcuts to the desktops except this pertains to when using Google as well. What would
    you suggest I do to address my concern? Please help! Also, how do I create a shortcut to the desktop using Mozilla Fox Fire? Any suggestions? Please? These things seem like simple, silly issues and a but like overkill to delete the whole new Windows 10,
    but I'm at my whits end here! And all the shortcuts I initially already created are gone! How do I get them back?
