Drag and drop a link on the desktop to create a shortcut


My client asked me a interesting thing today.

Drag and drop a link in the browser on the desktop to create a shortcut to the linked webpage.

We have a web-application and it could be very good to enable the user to directly connect their application.

Do you have any idea of how to do that ?


Solution

  • Isn't this how it actually works with most browsers in Windows? I've just tried in Firefox and IE, and both gave me a shortcut direct to the page on the desktop. Or am I missing something in your question?
