337183 2005-03-23 10:05:00 Is there a simple way of creating an icon on the desktop which will fire up Opera and connect straight to PF1 - I seem to recall that a couple of desktops had this ability.
Cheers

337185 2005-03-23 10:13:00 That was quick. Had tried to do that in Opera but could not find out how. Need handholding.

337186 2005-03-23 10:14:00 You can easily make a quick shortcut by having the main PF1 page displayed, then left click and hold on the wee icon in the address bar immediately to the left of the http:// and dragging this icon onto your desktop. It may help to resize the browser window first a little so that the desktop is visible to one side.

You can also use the File > Send to > Create desktop shortcut in IE (Opera and Firefox should have a similar worded option) :)

337187 2005-03-23 10:20:00 T hanks Jen, but the icon did not drag ( Win98SE), and File did not show a Send to option.
I'll go back and try some more.

337188 2005-03-23 11:09:00 Hello again Jen. For no apparent reason, drag suddenly worked and made an icon.
Hooray.
Cheers and thanks. Tony

337189 2005-03-23 11:12:00 Good to hear you got it working for you Tony :thumbs: Jen (38)
337190 2005-03-23 11:31:00 Now looking back, the problem was that the icon was not appearing where my mouse pointer was, but miles away buried among other icons. AND it did not appear with the Opera Icon but with the IE one - and I had not spotted it. All fixed now - magic ......
Cheers Tony
