Users can create Windows desktop shortcuts to their favorite web pages on the Internet like YouTube, Google, eBay, and others, by following the steps below.

  • Open the web page.
  • Resize your browser window so it’s not maximized.
  • In window mode, click-and-drag the icon to the left of the address in the address bar to your desktop. Once over the desktop, release the mouse button to automatically create a shortcut.

If you want to add a website bookmark instead of a specific page, make sure to go to the website home page before doing the above steps.
