Create Shortcut to Web-Page ??? Jun 5, 2016 9:59:31 GMT

Is it possible to create a shortcut to a web-page that can be pinned to the task bar ?

The reason I want to do this is so that I can pin various tutorial articles such that, when I hover the cursor over the icon, the page magically appears and disappears out of the way as soon as I move the cursor.

Such a feature would be wonderful when performing some task that requires constant referring to instructions.

Thanks.

I still have trouble remembering that it doesn't cost anything to take thousands of pictures; it just almost seems impossible to be true.

windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/pin-website-taskbar#1TC=windows-7

That works like a charm using IE and handy as a pocket on a trench coat.

However, when I try the same trick in FireFox, instead of pinning the page to the taskbar, it removes that tab from it's current window and opens it in a new window; that is quite handy as well --- providing I can remember which does what.

I haven't yet tried it in Chrome to see what it does there.

Thanks so much.
