Sometimes it is useful to have direct access to a website. Here's how to create an internet shortcut on your desktop for direct access

Procedure
- Access your mailbox and reduce the window to access your desktop
- Click the link of the web page on the desktop by grabbing the link at the padlock or the icon to the left of the link. See image below.
