Creating a Website Shortcut

This article is about how to create a clickable desktop shortcut to any website using Google Chrome.

1. Open up Google Chrome and navigate to the website you want to bookmark. This icon can change from an "i", to a lock icon, to an unlocked lock icon depending on the security settings on the site. The way the icon is displaying does not affect your ability to create a shortcut. Click and hold on the icon directly to the left of the web address.

2. Drag the icon to your computer's desktop. Releasing the click when the mouse is positioned over a blank space on the desktop. You can also drag the shortcut into a folder if you'd prefer.
