Go to the website. \n\nhighlight the address in the address bar\n\nright click on it, then copy. \n\nNow, on the desktop, right click, then new -> shortcut\n\nIn the window, right click then paste (the website address)\n\nClick Next, type a name \n\nYer done.\n\n\n?!?\nWho uses Internet Explorer these days?  Scrap that dog.

you can very easily make one with an icon maker or with a photo editing software. I recommend IfranView\n\nwww.download.com  \n\nsearch for irfanview \n\nresize it to 60x60

If you don’t already have an icon you need to download or purchase icon creation software, I recommend MicroAngelo - http://www.microangelo.us/\n\nOnce you make your icon, you need to name it favicon.ico and upload it to the root directory of your web site, where the index.html page is located.\n\nThe icon will display when someone adds your site to their favorites or makes a shortcut in their “links”\n\nHope this helps.

Go to your desktop and look for an icon that looks like a trash can.\n///

http://www.icongalore.com/\n  You can download free icons from this sight. Create a shortcut to the program you want, right click on it, go to properties and change icon. I have XP and can't see any way to move icons from desktop to taskbar. Earlier versions of Windows allowed you to do this.

I'm assuming that you don't mean creating a link (via ln, or ln -s), which is generally analogous to a shortcut.\n\nIcons on desktops really depend upon the desktop you are using. Many window managers don't provide desktop icons at all, only some of the more involved desktop environments do (Gnome, KDE, and the next version of XFCE will too).\n\nWith Gnome and XFCE, whatever is in your ~/Desktop folder appear on the desktop. To get an icon that runs a program, the best way to do this is with a desktop entry file, as described by freedesktop.org, this is supported by both Gnome and KDE.\n\nYou could also link to a desktop entry file, using ln -s to create a symbolic link.\n\nIf you need any more information, you'll need to elaborate on the problem a bit more.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER&#92;Control Panel&#92;Desktop&#92;Wallpaper is the key you want, specify the image file there.

why not just put as a bookmark or a favorite, its just as simple and doesn't add an unneeded icon on your computer screen
