How can I get a Yahoo mail icon on my desktop?

How do I get a yahoo mail icon for my desktop ?

  • I just downloaded Yahoo mail & it did not put a Yahoo mail icon on my desktop or on my task bar. How do I get one ???

  • Answer:

    To make a Desktop shortcut to Mail: 1. Open your Mail inbox using whatever browser you like to use. Right-click the address bar and left-click on Copy. 2. Right-click any empty area on your desktop. (Note: When you right-click on your desktop, it does not get rid of the link address you just copied.) In the box that pops up, hover your cursor over New, and left-click on Shortcut. Paste the location that you just copied from the address bar into the box that pops up. Left-click on Next. 3. After you click on Next, name your shortcut. Click on Finish. 4. You now have a shortcut for mail on your desktop. You can leave it there, or drag it to your quick launch bar or Task Bar. If you would like a “real” icon, download one from http://www.iconspedia.com/ 1. Find and choose, then download the image as a .ICO file. Choose Download .ICO. This image has an .ico extension, which means that Windows will automatically recognize it as an icon. Left-click on the Download.ICO button and save the file (image/icon) somewhere that you can remember and go to easily. 2. After you download and save the file, go to your desktop and right-click on your mail shortcut, then left-click on Properties. In the box that pops up (the mail Properties box), you will see four tabs. Left-click on the Web Document tab and then left-click on Change Icon. 3. A box of icons will pop up (Change Icon will be up on top). Left-click on Browse to browse to where you saved your icon. Left-click on it to select it. Then left-click on Open. 4. Now you will see the same icon box you just saw a few minutes ago, only this time it has your Gmail icon in it. Left-click on it to select it, and then left-click on OK. Now you are back to the very first box. Left-click on Apply, and then left-click on OK. (Ribbit)

The quickest and easiest way is-----with the mail page open---RIGHT click on a blank space (within that page) and in the drop menu, click on "Create Shortcut". That icon shortcut will appear immediately on your desk top and it works perfectly to take you directly to that page. In case you want it on your task bar (instead of the desktop)----just drag and drop the new icon to your task bar.
