I just downloaded the Weather Channel onto my P.C. I want to create a shortcut icon on the desktop. I can't seem to do it. We have Windows 7 on a P.C.

Copy your Firefox shortcut and add the url for the WeatherChannel.com after a space to the end of Target: in the properties on the shotcut tab, then on the General tab change the name of the shortcut. see row #3 of the table in


I would consider that to be very inefficient unless it is a mobile device

What I would do instead is create a keyword shortcut and invoke it on the location bar by its keyword shortcut.

Name: wc: Dry Gulch weather
Location: http://www.weatherchannel.com/...
Keyword: wc:
Description: example for weather channel
