    In response to rtrahan, what I am saying is that when I click to open favorites, then try to send a favorite to my desktop, it will not send it there. I want to be able to have some of my favorites shortcutted onto my desk top.

    when i go to my favorite list and right click on a favorite and select send to desktop the favorite shortcut does not appear on the desktop

    I think the person wants to put the entire Favorites grouping on his desktop.I also want to do this but it doesn't happen when I use the normal procedure.

    When I am on the grouping I right click and then click on Create a shortcut..............it does not create a shortcut nor state that it placed a shortcut on your desktop.

This will work with any Email provider, not just Yahoo. I am using Yahoo just as an example.<br /><br />1. You open Internet Explorer from the shortcut on your desktop<br />2. Type in the address for Yahoo mail. If you want to put a shortcut of the login screen, proceed to step 3. If you want to put a shortcut to the Inbox, then log into your account then proceed to step 3.<br />3. Go in the top menu to Favorites and click on Add to Favorites...<br />4. No when you click on Favorites you will see a link to Yahoo Mail in there. Click and drag that link onto your desktop. You're done!<br />
