Creating a shortcut to a web site

You can create shortcuts to any external or internal web site that is useful to you (for example, your personal webmail, internal wiki sites, news pages, and so on).

Note: 

When a URL shortcut is opened, you can minimize it to appear on the Thumbnails strip.

  1. Select Start > Create > Shortcut.

    or

    Select Start > Library, click the Widgets tab, and drag the Shortcut widget to your canvas or click the Shortcut widget and click the Add To Canvas button.

    The shortcut appears as "New Shortcut" with a yellow flag indicating that it has not yet been defined.

  2. Click the Settings (gear) icon on the Shortcut toolbar.
    Note: 

    Place your cursor on the shortcut to display the toolbar.

  3. On the Shortcut settings window, create the link to the web site as follows:
    Name

    Enter the name of your shortcut. For example, "MyEmail."

    Target or URL

    Type the URL address. (For example, http://www.gmail.com.)

  4. Click Save.

    If your shortcut does not work, the yellow flag remains. Open it and correct the URL address.
