    Google Icon on desktop

    The directions you need depend on what you are trying to do.

    What is it that you want to happen (what used to happen) when you click on the Google icon on your desktop?

    For example,

    • Do you want Google Chrome (the web browser to start)?
    • Do you want to go to Google.com (the search engine) using your default browser?
    • Do you want to go to your Gmail account using your default browser?
