How to make web shortcuts use icon provided by website rather than default

I'm a new Mac user, and I find it hard to use web shortcuts on my desktop and dock, because when I drag them from my browser to there, they all get the at sign on a spring icon, rather than the default icon provided by the website, which shows up next to the URL in the browser. Is there some setting that will allow it to use and keep that icon when I drag shortcuts?

That's a shame. It's so easy when I use my PC with Internet Explorer, I just drag from IE to the desktop, and it uses that icon by default.
I guess it could be interpreted as a shame that you can not get the favicon to stick to the desktop, different anyway. As Thomas A Reed suggested above, the link itself can receive a custom icon.
The advantage of creating a folder is other associated +files, receipts and links+ can be included in the stack with the link itself.
It is a shame the PC with IE cannot add this functionality, for my purpose anyway.

  • How to make .wmv files play in QuickTime Player 7 rather than 10

    I have just about had it with QuickTime Player 10 in the Applications folder
    and would rather use QuickTime Player 7 in the Utilities folder to play .wmv files.
    When I double click on a .wmv file, it opens in QuickTime Player 10 with the
    lame floating thing that blocks the view. Where and how can set 10.6.2 to use
    QuickTime Player 7 rather than QuickTime Player 10?
    The floating thing is really annoying

    QuickTime X is very new software and only Snow Leopard users have it
    A blurb on the 22-Jan-2010 issue of iClarified
    http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=7303
    indicates a soon to be released 10.6.3 update will contain some QuickTime X
    enhancements. I hope the enhancement fixes the floating navigation bar that
    caused me to revert to QuickTime 7.

  • How do I open an xlsx file from a website rather than downloading it?

    When I try to open an .xlsx file from a website, it downloads and does not open. Before the last update, it would just open the file. How do I get it to open when I click on it rather than just download it?

    Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, that didn't work...it still just downloads it to the temp file and doesn't open. Any other ideas? It worked before the last update of Firefox.

  • How to make WebView Render Html select elements as ComboBox rather than ChoiceBox

    I have a dropdown of country names. The problem is whatever value is selected the dropdown always starts from top of the list, as webview is creating choceboxes for selects. I want to display ComboBox instead.
    How can I accomplish this?

    Also, did you ever think to use the "Preview" button?
    Do you expect anybody to look at that mess of code?

    how to make the shortcut (accelerator) a ContextMenu to be global to the Stage?

    OK, I'm going the applescript route. When I run the script within automator, it works fine. However, when I run the script from a menu as a service, it has no effect at all on iTunes. I must be missing something.
    Here's my script:
    tell application "iTunes"
              if player state is stopped then return
              try
                        set player position to (get player position) + (-5)

  • Can someone help me in learning how to make business cards using pages

    can someone please help me in learning how to make business cards using pages

    You could jump start the process with an Avery MS Word 8-up business card template as a free download. Either version of Pages will digest it nicely. Once you load it into Pages, do a File > Save As Template.. , add it to Chooser, and give it your name choice. Both versions of Pages will remove the printer registration marks in all four template corners. The free LibreOffice Writer retains them.
