    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.

    Desktop shortcuts disappearing

    One of the computers i maintain has a few of the desktop shortcuts disappearing now and then. It runs windows 7, and has a shitload of shortcuts on the desktop.

    Any idea what might cause this?

    Windows 11 shortcut on desktop

    Windows 11 - Creating desktop shortcut became annoying!!

    I have been using Windows 11 for quite some days. And found difficulty in setting the desktop shortcut for apps. In previous Windows versions, we can simply create desktop shortcuts by right-clicking the app and selecting "Send to --> Desktop(create shortcut)". Now it takes 2 to 3 steps to create a shortcut which is annoying. Can we expect this feature to get added in upcoming updates?

    Why are my desktop shortcuts rearranged every time I reboot?: I use FireFox browser, which has a "shortcut" page that appears when the browser is activated. But, every time I boot-up Windows [10] my shortcuts are rearranged or some have been replaced with "crapola". How to stop this from happening?...
