Hi, Tested and working. Right click on the Desktop, then go to New, then Shortcut. Paste the link into the field, then hit Next, then type your desired name you want to see on the icon and hit Finish. Works a treat. BTW, would you mind sending me the address of the uk radio listeners off list? Also, is there one for world radio listening? I'm very into listening to world radio, including via shortwave. HTH. _______________________________________ Have a pleasant day, Kind Regards and Best Wishes, Hussein.
