Creating desktop shortcuts

Windows Vista25
How do you create a desktop shortcut to an internet web page in Vista? It

doesn't seem to work like XP did, which was quite straightforward.

Thanks.

You can right click anywhere on the web page and select create shortcut.

Paul,

Thanks for the reply. That was what I did on XP, which always worked. I

don't seen that option on the menu when I right click.

Hi Arnold,

I'm not sure what is wrong since that option is available to me in Vista

Home premium. I'll check around on the web and see what I can find.
