How to put shortcut icon on taskbar

[bill14]

I want to put shortcut to websites, such as yahoo, or google, etc on the taskbar so the icon is not hidden behind main screen (like my dsktp shrtct is). When I look how to do it under google, it gives msoft site which says "Add Icons to the Desktop or Taskbar". Under that it has "To Pin APPS to the Taskbar" and "To Add Shortcuts to the....DESKTOP". Huh?? That makes it sound like it is not possible to add a google or yahoo shortcut to the.....TASKBAR. Sometimes they make what should be simple things to do sound so confusing.

Hello Bill,

If you like, you could use OPTION ONE or OPTION THREE in the tutorial below to create a website shortcut that you can "Pin to taskbar".

And, if I refuse to EVER use Internet Exploder?
I sure can't do it with shortcuts that will open up Firefox.
