Newbie here!  How2 create a "desktop icon" on iPhone

I want to have an icon on my iPhone that will launch Safari and go directly to a specific web page. (Specifically, my boss want this -- an new icon that he may select and it would render the a certain web-email site.) I don't want to make this site the Safari home page, rather just have a dedicated icon.
TIA!

With the webpage selected and available with Safari, at the bottom or at the footer, select the + icon.
Options are:
Add Bookmark
Add to Home Screen
Mail Link to this Page
Cancel
Select Add to Home Screen.

  • How do I create a desktop Icon for Adobe create pdf?

    How do I create a desktop icon for Adobe create pdf?

    Hi, ken.
    You can access ExportPDF from your computer more quickly in three ways:
    You can download and install the CreatePDF Desktop Application. More info is here. With this application, you can drag PDF files onto a desktop icon and have those converted to Office files. (If you subscribe to the CreatePDF service, this application will also allow you to create PDF files.)
    You can download and install the newest Adobe Reader and access the service using Reader's Tools Pane on right. Then, any time you have PDF open in Reader, you can (with a couple of clicks) convert that PDF to an Office file.
    You can drag the webpage icon from your browser to your desktop. This will create a shortcut to the ExportPDF website on your desktop. Here are some instructions for doing that using Internet Explorer or Firefox.
    Let us know if you have additional questions or issues.

  • Update framework always creates new desktop icon

    I'm using the AIR update framework (ApplicationUpdaterUI),
    and whenever the user updates the application, a new desktop icon
    gets created (overwriting any existing desktop icon there). Is
    there a way to suppress this behaviour, or can someone suggest a
    workaround?
    Here's the situation:
    Our AIR app uses a separate bootstrapping application to
    launch some services before the AIR application launches, so it's
    important that the user does not run the AIR executable themselves.
    Our installer creates a desktop icon that points to the
    bootstrapping executable. When the user updates the application, it
    replaces our desktop icon with the AIR shortcut.
    Thanks!

    Question
    When trying to create a desktop icon, it does not go to the URL.....instead I get 'script' and not a website......the script has http//etc but I am not directed to the website......I previously had IE 8 (on Vista).....is that the problem?I do not have any installed plugins....at least none that I know of.....remember I am a new user......Basically, the desktop icon is not going directly to the Mozilla FF to get me to the web site I need to go to.....FF works when I use the Mozilla FF icon.....just not the icons I create.....THANKS!!! I have also tried reinstalling FF and get the same results.....HELP!!!

    The address beginning with file:/// denotes a saved file (local file). The file may not be present. You can try dragging the site icon of this page on the left edge of the location (Address) bar and release it on the desktop. Please try opening it. If it still shows an error it could be a problem with the system's zone permissions. You can try setting each zone in the Windows Control Panel or IE > '''Internet Options''' > '''Security''' tab to '''Default Level'''.

  • How to not create a desktop icon in AIR installation

    Hi, because AIR cannot launch a local .EXE, I need to have a non-AIR .exe do some things and then call the AIR app. Problem is that the AIR installation also creates an icon on the desktop which is confusing to the end users and often times they click the AIR icon directly as opposed to the non-AIR .exe which calls the AIR .exe.
    My questions is:
    1. Is there a way for just windows, to have the AIR installation not create the icon on the desktop but still create icons for MAC and LINUX.
    2. If not, then is there a way to have the AIR installation not create the icons for all cases and then I'd just need to manage different project files: one for Windows and one for Mac/Linux
    thanks

    Hi,
    I have the same problem for different reasons,  I'm delivering an AIR app for a customer who has a company wide policy of no desktop icons for apps installed on work machines.
    The app in question fires up at Start Up so there is no need for one anyway.
    So is there absolutely no way (in AIR 1.5) I can prevent Adobe AIR from placing an icon on the desktop if the user does not untick the box when installing?
    Thanks

  • Create custom desktop icon

    How do I create a desktop app for a web address in iOS 6 on my iPad or iPhone?

    In mobile safari, go to the web page you want.  Then tap the small icon at bottom of screen that has a curved arrow coming out of a box.  Choose "Add to Home Screen".  That places an icon on the "desktop" that invokes safari and goes to that web page when the icon is tapped.

  • How to create shortcut desktop icon for all users???

    Hello All,
    I want to know how to create shortcut icon for all users in windows 7. I tried C:\Users\Public but no folder for Desktop.
    Thanks

    C:\users\All users
    JS
    Hi,
    I am just wondering, what is the technically correct location to place say, a shortcut, for all users to access on their desktops on a given machine?
    Is it C:\Users\Public\Desktop ?
    Or is it C:\Users\All Users\Desktop ?
    Would it also be possible to explain the differences as well? Or paste some links to the overview of each one? I am having trouble finding anything from MS.
    Thank you.

  • How does Adobe create a desktop icon when I open a web pdf document, and how can I get it to stop?

    I am finding a host of pdf file icons cluttering up the desktop when I exit the Web after researching a topic. I have saved some files with the 'save as' feature, but there is nothing else I have done.
    I have looked through the usual properties, options looking for clues for this automatic program, to choose a different one... and have yet to find anything indicating this program or process.
    How is this happening and how can I stop it?
    Thank you!

    Thanks for your interest in helping- This system has Firefox (whatever is recent) , Windows 7 Professional, Adobe Reader XI.
    While on the Web, I have opened, perused, then saved docs to file using 'save as' option in the browser; and on closing the browser, I see numbers of pdf shortcuts on the desktop.
    Also, this kind of thing has occurred inconsistently, so there has been nothing "usual" in my actions to which I can attribute these icons.
    Sorry - I delete them and clean out the recycle bin, or I'd be able to tell you whether these were shortcuts or the actual files. I'm trying to resurrect the image in my mind, and I believe they may have been the docs, not simply shortcuts...
    Thank you for your time!

    An icon for what?  A folder?

  • How to create desktop icon that is a live URL

    I am sure I'm overlooking something obvious and that this is a stupid question, but I can't figure out how to do something in OS X SL that is a snap in Windows: How do you create a desktop icon that is a "shortcut" to a web site URL, so that double-clicking the desktop icon causes the default browser to open to that page? All I can figure out is how to save a page to the desktop as an html file through the file menu. But that creates both the icon and a whole folder of other files and appears to just open a static (historical) document. Basically I am just wanting to make a "bookmark" to a single site right on my desktop. (It's my Delicious site where I keep all my bookmarks for all browsers on all devices.)

    The easiest way is to just drag the URL from Safari's address bar to your desktop. This will create a .webloc file that points to the URL. Double-clicking the .webloc will launch the browser to navigate to the stored URL.

  • Is there a program that can open .desktop icons?

    Hi.
    I am 15 years old and have downloaded a game thats called Planetside 2 with the program wine and winebottler. It installed perfectly and leaved a icon thats named Planetside2.PSG.desktop. I didn't exit the window until the planetside 2 have uploaded everything. After one day I decided to play Planetside 2 but I couldn't open that icon. Not even my winebottler couldn't open it. Is there a way or a program that can open that. (I do not want any suggestions buy virtual machines because I don't have a disk reader that can run cd´s).
    The way I did it.
    1. Installed Planetside 2
    2. Created a desktop icon for shortcut. (There also came a sort of document Planetside2.PSG.ink)
    3. Waited Planetside 2 to upload ( I went about 3 hours so I went to bed).
    4. Next morning, tried to use the shortcut (Planetside2.PSG.desktop) to launch it.
    5. Searching if there was anything more installed in the computer and I couldn't find anything except that desktop icon.
    Well there is one opertuntity that works but it takes a LONG time because I have to install it again and click the repear option to even open Planetside 2.
    My computer is a Macbook air with operating system OS X 10.8.4. (its not mountain lion but it was no more option).

    Thanks, I should talk to the support and now I know where my game is! I had the problem to find Planetside was one of the problems and it was in a windows c:drive that is almost impossible to find (Spotlight and Finder searches doesn't work). But I found a program that can find EVERY single program which is OmniDiskSweeper. It calculates every folders and programs size and lays a display on how much spaces it takes on your computer. If anyone have problem to find the windows C:drive I can guide you like this:
    Machintosh HD>Users>Your computer name (Which would take a lot of gbytes)>Library(Its probably here the folder Library doesn't show up)>Application Support>com.yourcompany.yourapp.??>there is your windows c:drive!
    Maybe in some computers it doesn't work but it worked for me how I found my C:drive. I was using a program called wine so that maybe explains the dissapering. Wine laid it on the C:drive.

  • Application minimized when launching from the JavaWebstart desktop icon

    Hi All,
    I created a desktop icon when I was prompted to thru JavaWebStart.
    Now, whenever I launch my application by double-clicking on the icon, it launches with the window minimized.
    I have to d-click on the windows taskbar to maximize it.
    Is there a way to launch the application with the maximized window.
    Maybe some property to be set in the JNLP file.
    Please let me know if anyone knows about it
    Thanks
    Urvashi

    O sure...I can do that if i am launching the application on a single monitor. And this does work if i have only 1 monitor. But in case of multi-monitors, this does not work.
    Thats why I was looking for more like property to be set.

  • Executable desktop icon to start up system???

    Hello everyone,
    I have got a system which i have coded, all working etc etc, just wondering if it is possible if someone could help me or give me ideas on how i would go about creating a desktop icon that when double clicked like any other icon it runs the main method and starts up my system
    never done this before so any suggestions would be very much appreciated
    Thanks in advance
    Paul

    1. The easiest way - write a *.bat file (assumes windoze)
    Open up Notepad and write;-
    "java MyMainClass" and save it as "MyJavaExec.bat" (or any name you like) in the same folder as your java application where MyMainClass has the entry point signature 'public static void main(..'
    2. Right click on this and choose the option Create Shortcut.
    3. Drag this shorcut from its current file window to the desktop
    4. Double click on it
    5. You can also right click on this shortcut and change the icon for a more professional finish
    (There are other options - but this is the easiest way)

  • Help, I accidentally put a desktop icon the trash (my photo booth!). I don't  know how to undo it!

    Help me. I accidentally created a desktop icon from Iphoto and when I wanted to get it off the desktop, I put it in the trash. Now, it appears that my entire photo collection is in the trash bin and I don't want it to be there! How do I tell it to take it back out of the trash bin???

    Please explain in more detail, how you created, made or moved that "icon" to your desktop...?
    If you not sure, open the trash, control click on the "icon" in the trash, select Get Info and report back.
    If it looks like this > with nothing after it, then you need to drag it out of the trash and put it back into your user Pictures Folder.
    If it is a copy or alies and you can currently open iPhoto and see all your photos, then there should not be any problem just emptying the trash and making it go away.
