    Start menu shortcut to a web page


    EDIT!
    Sorry about the dyslectic "Start" not "satrt"

    -----
    Trying to pin a shortcut on Start menu to open my forum thread in "sevenforums.com"

    I have a shortcut (S1) in a folder with the target as "https://www.sevenforums.com/installation-setup/blah.html#postxxxxxxx"

    Then on Start (Menu) I created a shortcut (S2) to (S1)

    When I click on the start-menu-shortcut (S2) nothing happens.
    But when S1 is clicked my thread page is opened.

    Am I expecting too much.? :)

    In the mean time I have deleted "S2" and created a fresh shortcut on Start (menu) directly to my thread.

    Hello Russell,

    There's no need to create a shortcut to a shortcut. A direct shortcut with the source target works best.

    If you like, you could create a shortcut using the method in OPTION ONE or THREE below that you can directly "Pin to Start Menu". :)

    Hi Brink. :)
    The Internet Website Shortcut - Create drag and drop works a treat with PaleMoon + FireFox
