How to create a desktop link to a website
I recall doing this once in the past, but I cant remember how.
I want to put a link on my desktop to open a regularly used website. I thought it was as follows: --- [InternetShortcut] URL=https://www.google.com --- (I am just using google.com as an example) This is then saved as a text file. I did this in notepad. If I save it as a .txt file, it just opens in notepad. If I save it with no extension, I get a "windows can not open this file extension" error. What am I doing wrong? Im using XP Pro SP3 |
