Shortcut options

Hi David,

To be able to get the advanced Properties for your desktop shortcut, you'll need to get the location of your browser.

You just need to copy the Target address found at the Shortcut tab that can be found on the screenshot Monica has provided you.

After that, you can follow these steps to create a desktop shortcut:

• Right-click on a blank space from the Desktop, click
  New, then select Shortcut.
  
• Paste the address you've copied from the browser's properties, enter a single space, then type in the website you want to exactly open from the shortcut.
  ie. "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" http://www.cbc.ca/listen/live/radio1/vancouver
  
• Click the Apply button, then OK.
  
• Open the properties of the newly created desktop shortcut, then go to the Shortcut
  tab to follow the steps Monica has provided you.
  

Let us know how it works.

Regards.
