Hi guys, does anyone know how to get the pink CVO icon to appear on the desktop?

I've done this at work but can't remember how I did it.

Cheers

Dave

Hello Dave,

I explain you with my bad english, Sorry ! And my softwares are in french !

In your favories list, with the mouse, you click right on the "CVO FLHRSEI" favori. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]
In the menu, you choose "copy". [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif] [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]
You go on your desktop.
Here, you click right and in the menu, you choose "Stick the shortcut" (probably it's not exactly the same words but it's this action).
You pink CVO icon is arrive and when you click left on this, you arrive directly on our website. [smiley=drink.gif]

Merry Christmas and happy new Year ! [smiley=santa3.gif]

One thing you will notice over time is that the icon will disappear and be replaced by the generic IE icon.  That's because the actual pink CVO icon is stored in your browser's cache, and when it gets emptied you lose the icon.

If you want to make sure this doesn't happen, copy the icon from your browser cache (Temporary Internet Files) to your local hard drive.  Right click your desktop shortcut, click properties, click "change icon", browse to the folder you saved the icon file in, click on the pink CVO icon, click OK, OK.

I actually have a folder on the C drive named icons where I store these.

  I will have to get one of my kids to explain this to me in terms I can understand. (1st grade)

Everytime I try this I get the Internet Explorer icon. :-?

Just set your homepage to this site, then everytime you surf, BAM you're here!

Thanks everyone - I can get here OK - I just want the cute pink CVO icon on the desktop.

I tried what you said Jacques, but, like MJZ, I just get the default IE icon

Hmmm, there HAS to be a way...

BTW
I just got a text from my daughter, who is in Thailand for 3 months (while I shiver back home in UK, wishing me Happy Christmas because it is already Christmas day for her.

Fantastic directions and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you as well Jacques.  I now have a cute CVO icon on my desktop.  Although I knew how to do this, it never even occured to me to do so.   ;)Now, I don't go to the internet, favorites and then to here, just straight to here.  Thanks a million for the idea and the how to.   [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]
