How to save a link on my desktop?

How do I save a link on my desktop. In IE, I used to save a link on my desktop for a website that I wanted to watch again. I guess I could bookmark, but I only usually for the sites I visit often. In Internet Explorer, the option was under file > Send link. Any ideas or suggestions?

Matt_G, while your solution work, I must say that it is an area where the solution of IE is superior to FF, IMO. I often work with several windows open and enlarged, and I find have minimize/restore a window, then drag an icon on the desktop, to be rather bulky. I hope FF will incorporate into a menu soon.

    Hi aramchek

    Your first message assumes that you want to save a link to a Web site for the help page that you are viewing locally.

    But your second post assumes that you want to display this page locally (on a plane) without an internet connection?

    1. If you want to save the help page on site that can be considered in offline mode, perform the following steps.

    a. go to Start/Help and Support. Enter your search term (Advanced Tips for searching in Windows).

    b. when the page you want to save appears, right-click the page and select View Source. The page opens in Notepad, view HTML content.

    c. click on file/save as. Name the file and give it an extension of .htm file. For example: File Search.htm Advanced and save it to the desktop.

    This file can be opened locally without an internet connection.

    2. If you want to create a bookmark to the same information online, use the Help and Support Online. Go to this site: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/features

    a. Enter your search term in the box at the top of the page and press enter (example: Search)

    b. in the drop down menu to change the filter , select Windows 7 (detected) and click the OK button.

    c. in the results, click on the link for the information you want. On the resulting web page, right click and select create shortcut or Add to Favorites.

  • How to save a position and dimensions of windows on the desktop?

    How to save a position and dimensions of windows on the desktop?

    In Vista, there are limited means of control Windows and many of those who apply to the general patterns and not to individual windows.

    The following includes about what Vista can offer in this area, and I don't think that this will do exactly what you want (even if it is possible that the first option with references to other related articles can do a little of that, but I don't think that he can do everything or entirely as you wish without 3rd party help) except for the 3rd party program that winsizeme also mentioned below.  That may do the trick:

    Here's how to change the default template for a folder:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/70819-windows-explorer-folder-view-settings.html.  Default behavior is to select the model based on the first type of file placed in the folder (you must choose something).  Vista sets thefolder type template according to what are the types of files in the window and the settings display window Explorer. This will show you how to resetthe Windows Explorer folder view settings, disable Automatic folder Type discovery and increase theview of the folder cache to have Vista don't forget display settings, model of file type, size, or position of a specific window for when it was still closed to the location of specific path.

    It does not work with the Sub record under, Open with,open in a new tab (Internet Explorer), etc... dialog windows of type through the goodFile menu bar item. These don't seem to be able to have their size or their position to recall. For the latter, you can use the free program WinSizeMehttp://www.pcmag.com/article2/0, 2817,2339650,00.asp to resize them and record the sizes and locations (I changed the program that mentioned in the article, because even if it is a Vista article, the 3rd referenced application part it does not indicate speciiquement is compatible with Vista so that it doesn't).  I have never personally used this program myself so I can't say for some it will achieve your goals, but from what I've read on this subject, it should do the trick (although I don't think it will be automatic - you may need to set each window you want to save in this way - but that's about all that's available if you need to decide whether or not this alternative is better or) (no).  I'm not certain if it applies to programs or only records - but since it's free you can test and see if it helps you with your situation (it may be that it is useful in some cases and not the worth or effective in others - it of for you to decide (but considers that there is really no other alternative that those presented here - just Vista is not this type of detailed features except to a lesser extent) as described in section 1 above).

    Here is another article on how to modify the columns in Windows Explorer and sort in Vista:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/108665-column-customize.html.  This will show you how Add, Remove, move, change the widthand change the sort order of the columns in Windows Explorer in the way that you want.

    Here is another article on how to change the display of the default folders in Vista (but she claims it is not a perfect solution and can revert to the previous behavior is not as good as the prior links provided:http://news.cnet.com/8301-13880_3-10019957-68.html.)  I include it only because it is an option - but also what he says it is not a very good alternative (but if none of the other works, it may be worth).

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • How to save a package folder including CC library links?

    I'm trying to save a package folder with all the content of my book cover.

    But since I learned to use the CC libraries, I've been putting together my covers with lots of CC library files.

    But impossible to get the package done...

    It always indicates a problem, saying: he can't save the linked files.

    I checked all the links and they are OK... so I think the problem is with the CC library arts...

    Is it a problem when saving a package with content libraries CC?

    How can I do?

    I packed files that contain files of CC of InDesign CC, CC Illusrator and CC of Photoshop library successfully.

    What is the exact error message you get with the package command?

    Exact version of InDesign? Operating system?

    The only problem I had is if you have Illustrator or Photoshop files in InDesign and you drag the InDesign file to become an asset of CC library. You would need to embed the files in InDesign before adding active InDesign with graphics not related to the library.

    which) and methods to protect the system.

    Check with your system manufacturer support, their drivers and documentation online and ask for their
    Forums (if any). The system can be restored to the rear out of the box state that eliminates course
    all programs and data so data first. Each manufacturer has its own methods, although it is
    usually not a complx process.

    InterNet Explorer

    Windows Explorer
    C:\Windows\explorer.exe

  • How do save about.config after change of smart bookmarks

    https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/restore-default-Smart-Bookmarks-folders

    This should do what is necessary, BUT the change is not saved when I go out. How to save the changes?

    Once Firefox treats the request, the preference will be changed again. The files reappear when you expect? If this isn't the case, it is possible that they moved in a subfolder. Unfortunately, it is difficult to find because the search box in the Library dialog box does not have Smart Bookmarks folders.

    But you can search for them in a backup of the HTML format. Here's how:

    (1) export bookmarks to a file in HTML format that you save to a convenient location, such as your desktop. See: Firefox bookmarks export to a HTML file for backup or transfer bookmarks

    (2) open the HTML in Firefox and you can use find (Ctrl + f) to search for the missing smart bookmarks folder. Then, you can open this location in the library and bring it back where it belongs.

    A little luck?

    I get an error "unable to load XPCOM. I know that I can reinstall Firefox, but when I went to do that he erased all my favorites that I did a system restore. How to backup my bookmarks?

    Do a clean reinstall and delete the program folder before Firefox to (re) install a new copy of the current version of Firefox.

    If possible to uninstall your current version of Firefox to clean the Windows registry and settings in the security software.

    • Do NOT remove the "personal data" when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data such as bookmarks and passwords including data profiles created by other versions of Firefox.

    Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

    • (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    • (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.

    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a uninstall and (re) install, but do NOT delete personal data when you uninstall Firefox which removes all Firefox profile folders and you lose your data.

    If you keep problems also create a new profile.
