How to make a desktop icon of a website…

Step 1:  Save the website in “Favorites”

• Open up “Internet Explorer”, type in the website, and allow the site to load


• Click the “Favorites” drop down menu, then “Add to Favorites…”


• Name the site what you would like and click “Add”

Step 2:  Make a desktop shortcut for your site

• Next, click back on the “Favorites” drop down menu


• Find the site you just added, right click, highlight  “Send To”, click Desktop (Create Shortcut)


• You should now see an icon for that website on your desktop.  This is where your students can click to enter a particular site without typing in the entire site’s name.


• NOTE:  If you need to rename the shortcut so it’s something easy for the students to read, just right click on the shortcut and click “Rename”.
