How do I save a link to a webpage as a shortcut in the Windows file manager?
- Right click on the folder.
- New Shortcut.
- Insert the URL in the dialog, Next.
- Put a meaningful name.
Double click the shortcut to test it.
Personally I found this answer best. Just create a file, myLink.html with the following content:
<html>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.location.href = "http://stackoverflow.com"; //change this to the URL
//you want to redirect to
</script>
</body>
</html>
This is actually much easier than you might think! If you are on the web page you want to save a link for, just click and hold on the small 'padlock' icon (which you see just to the left of the address, in the address bar). Drag the padlock over into an open Windows Explorer window/folder (or over its icon, as you please) and let go. Drag and drop, job done :-)
