wha...? Ok- Short cut (with an icon). So, any safe sites to recommend for shortcut icons? BTW- search calls it "desk top icons" LOL

I'm not trying to be snarky, but I dont really understand what you are trying to do.

You click something and hit make shortcut and it shows up... with an icon.. no downloading necessary?

I didnt download any of these icons.

Did you just move to windows 11 and want it to look like windows 7 ? There are programs for that.

Thank you. Just want shortcuts to bring up web sites. Like BITOG (which has a nice one when BITOG is installed)

Oh well you dont really install bitog just bookmark it.
and you can drag the bookmark to the desktop as a shortcut

Right click desktop > new > create shortcut > enter website URL.

I do this but just gives me the generic win desktop icon. All the same. Just with a unique name
