I want to make shortcuts on my desktop

I want to make shortcuts on my desktop for some Web sites that I use all the time. In Solution Explorer, I just right click and send a shortcut.

However, Firefox load me click on the symbol of the 'world' to the left of the address of the site to make the shortcut. This does not work because I do not have a symbol of 'world' next to the web address. I have either a padlock or a symbol of binoculars (finally what looks like binoculars) and so I am unable to do what suggests the Firefox.

This is driving me crazy and is one of the things (like the bookmark system) that I don't like about Firefox.

Is there someone who can please tell me how to do it?

Thank you.

In addition, if you do it often, there an add-on to send a shortcut to Windows without having to manually drag. I have not tried myself:

  • Shortcut on the desktop for Windows Defender

    Hello. I have Windows 7 starter on my netbook and want to create a shortcut on the desktop for Windows Defender. However, it does not appear as a program in the start menu and the option to display the control panel more big or small icons is greyed out (i.e., not available in starter edition), I don't see the program on the control panel or the other. The only way I can get to it is to type in 'Defender' in the search field in the start menu or the search field on the control panel. Although one of these actions will locate Windows Defender, they do not provide me the ability to create a shortcut for the application. I tried searching in Program Files on the C drive and found him, but did not know which file right-click on the folder to create a shortcut file. If anyone can help me, I would appreciate it.

    Second, Windows Defender is updated analysis scheduled around 02:00 every morning, but my computer isn't on then, I expect to do a scan automatically the next day when I turned the computer back on. He did not do that and always displays the last analysis as being the manual I did the day before. Is it possible to get auto-start if it misses its slot 02,00 regular?

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    Thank you both for responding: I did click right and do drag the thing like that seemed simpler and it worked: thank you. Are you able to let me know how to get the Defender to make an auto scan when I turn on the computer if it misses its slot 02,00?

    Thank you.

  • Need advice - shortcut on the desktop, security warning.

    I went through tons of stuff from igor, nancy, jsmith, Weaver, jasper, giles, etc...
    I'm just a designer in my team, but we had just started using javafx 1.3 when 2.0 came out last year.
    We have our application running javafx2 in the browser or by the start of the Internet link, but a user experience I really want the app to slip to drop on the desktop browser, close to create a shortcut on the desktop action back.
    We had him in fx 1.3 but the programmers tell me that it is not available in fx 2.0.
    Is this true? I can't get a shortcut created more? or perhaps have not thought of another work around them?

    Also since I was attention, we always get up to security warning popup "digital signature of the application cannot be verified" at startup.
    I'd love to get rid of it. If I read correctly, even if we pay for a certificate, he appears always just with our name.
    We persist info request as the theme users and we allow to paste into the text boxes, but that's all.
    I read that we cannot run in the sandbox if we use the "local file system" or "Clipboard", but I want to make sure that that's why we get the warning.

    Thoughts?

    Creating a shortcut worked for me JavaFX 2.1b16, JDK7u4ea

    I generated a jnlp and an html for a NetBeans 7.1 project file.
    NetBeans placed the item shortcut in the wrong place in the jnlp, so I moved it in the sub node.
    I also set the update policy and check them both forever rather than background to help test.
