I am having a problem of not being able to send a website to the Desktop  
as a "Shortcut".  I have icons on the Desktop from the past, and these are  
working correctly.  I am able to send them to a folder in "Favorites", and  
they are active from there
 
 
I'm having difficulty with shortcut icons on the desktop.  I use a lot of  
these for quick connect to programs I use frequently.
I have noticed some program icons, for example ... WinZip have a "picture  
theme" as their icon.
When I click on "Properties" for this icon, there are 3 tabs available...
"General"
"Shortcut"
"Compatibility"
Under the "Shortcut" tab, it allows the icon to be changed, and refers me to  
a group of mixed icons.
Another icon, for example "Windows XP New Users Group" have only the generic  
"e"  explorer icon.
When I go to the "Properties" selection on the info, it only has the  
"General" tab, and no choice of changing the icon.
I know this is a small thing to worry with, but I would just like to have my  
desktop look better, plus it does make spotting the desktop shortcut icon  
easier.
Can anyone help?
