Cannot create a shortcut on the desktop for a Web site in the browser Firefox Tor
I am a user of Tor Browser, and I love the interface of Firefox. According to my page, my Firefox browser is up-to-date. But for some reason I can't save shortcuts to office for a Web site. Whenever I drag the icon beside a Web site (variously a glob, a green bolt and other icons), I get a mouse icon of denial no matter where I try to put the web shortcut on the desktop. This happens even when I drag the bookmarks of my bookmark bar! My guess is that something is blocked in Tor allowing no shortcuts settings. Any suggestions on where the parameters of the shortcuts are in Firefox?
Fred, all other modules worked well. I contacted the people of Tor, and they were unsure of what's going on. I've pasted their response below, but the short answer is that they have me just save shortcuts manually from the office whenever the Tor Button is active. Thanks for your help, you've been great!

Drag events filtering and blocking the external application
External applications can be induced to load files that perform network
activity. Unfortunately, there are cases where these applications can be launched
automatically with little or no user intervention. To avoid this,
Torbutton installs a component to provide the user with a popup when
the browser is trying to launch a helper application.
In addition, modern desktop computers now preemptively look for all URLS in drag
and events move as soon as the drag is initiated. This download happens
independently Tor browser setting and can be triggered by
something as simple as holding the mouse button for a little too
time by clicking a link to the image. Filter us drag and drop events
events of Torbutton before the OS downloads the URL contained events.

Unable to create a shortcut on the desktop
I am trying to create a shortcut on my desktop to a favorite Web site. I right click, select new, then shortcut, and nothing happens. This has been a problem for some time, I'm just finally getting around this announcement! Help, please. (I read on a websit to run a registry cleaner. I tried & nothing has changed)
Windows 7 Home Premium
64 bit
Service Pack 1
Never, ever use a registry cleaner! At best, they do nothing. At worst, your machine might get screwed up if bad that you would end up having to reload Windows.Save the site in my favorites. Take the favorite and drag it to the desktop. Shortcut created. -

How to create a shortcut on the desktop?
desktop shortcut
where can I get the shortcut on the desktop
I might have misunderstood your question entirely.
A longer sentence with a development could avoid this.
With nothing good to go on, my answer would be... you must create it.
Example: create a shortcut on the desktop of Windows Media Player...
Start button > all programs > scroll down the list to find Windows Media Player > right click it > click send to > select desktop (create shortcut).
A Windows Media Player shortcut is now on your desktop.

I'm doing new Vista loaded as user friendly than our previous XP. Need help to create a shortcut on the desktop to msn, so everything we need to do is click the butterfly icon to connect. Also need to know how to download the msn toolbar. Thank you!
Hello
MSN toolbar
http://www.Microsoft.com/toolbar/Loading of the toolbar can make the icon.
If you wish to make your homepage of MSN, and then when IE is started it will take you to MSN.
You can also make MSN Favorites page in IE - then go to your Favorites - right-click on the favorite MSN
then go to the desktop - Right Click and PASTE the SHORTCUT.I hope this helps.

Cannot create folders, shortcuts, etc.
Cannot create folders, shortcuts, etc. I tried to make it on the desktop by right click-> new, but it has not worked, there is written (Nothing). I think that I have problems with a registry. Please help me. My OS is Windows Vista Home Premium.
Hey, pregnant. Yes, I see that it is empty. I think the problem is buried somewhere in the registry.
My only suggestion is to use Windows Explorer to create the folders and shortcuts in your document folder and drag and drop them on your desktop.
