You're absolutely right about this in IE! In fact, you can even right-click in an empty area of the Gmail web page and go down the menu until you see Create Shortcut and left-click on that. The problem with that (for me) is that I use my G-mail shortcut in my quick task toolbar, and when you drag and drop a shortcut of this nature to the toolbar, you come up with a blank page when you click on it. The article was written for Firefox users; I'm sorry I didn't clarify that. Thanks for the tip on this for IE! Lori Hi Ike!

Gives you the shortcut and the Gmail icon too. Worked for me. Wouldn’t it be faster, easier, and simpler to go to the Gmail log on (with IE), click on “File, Send To, Shortcut to Desktop.
