Please follow these steps:

• Go to your favorite website.
• Reduce the size of your webpage window so you can see your Desktop behind it.
• Click the icon to the left of the page's URL and hold down the mouse button.
• Drag the icon to your Desktop. You just created a shortcut to that particular page.
