Creating a website shortcut if you use Microsoft Edge

January 25, 2018 by Alan Stainer

Creating a website shortcut if you use Microsoft Edge

There are two ways to do it.

Method 1

Create a desktop shortcut in Windows and change the target, etc. WTF?

Method 2

Click on the 3 dot menu and launch the page from Internet Explorer, then create the shortcut from there. WTF?

Seriously, what the heck have Microsoft been doing with Edge all this time if you can’t actually create a website shortcut to put on your desktop?

    Well… as I just found out, they made Edge the new standard PDF viewer, because the previous crazy resource hog is no longer supported under Win10 – and when I try to change that standard, they’re basically begging me to reconsider.

    They probably just didn’t have the time yet to implement any web-related functionality in their web browser. :D

    They’re too busy force feeding games via the Start menu and nagging people to use their things, because it just isn’t fair that Google, Adobe, Mozilla and everyone else makes better software on their operating system.

    Yep. Microsoft do seem to be spending more and more time throwing their toys out of the pram, yelling for attention without actually doing anything helpful that might draw people in.
