moderated Re: Placing Bookmark File on Desktop for Browser Use
But Chrome has a function under More to create a desktop shortcut and you could then manually move this shortcut into a folder.

But to manually add a favourite to your desktop, just create a text file, give it the extension .url, put in a URL, save it to the desktop and you're done. Your default browser will load it.

I think Favorites is stored under c:\users\Barbara or whatever your user name is on your system. When you're there, just hit f for Favorites, and send it to the desktop. On the desktop, find Favorites, and create the shortcut key. Now, you can create folders and subfolders to your heart's content. I certainly do. Sometimes, you find that a certain favorites should have been in another folder or subfolder than the one you originally placed it in.

I am not sure I was clear enough with my first inquiry. I am not copying a specific web site, but an entire folder of them. Smile.

Now go to that favorites folder and do alt-h-w-s and paste the URL into the edit box, hit next and name the shortcut.

However when I tried to use this with Chrome, it did not work. I got garbage for web results. Do I need to change the Favorites file format for Chrome? Is there a specific method I must use to access the desktop folder? Some other ideas?-- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it?
