TSGL: Move Bookmark icon to desktop CRAIG

[EDLYNN]

Craig -

Perfect. Just as advertised. The shortcut went to the desktop, as you 
directed.  Thanks very much.

BTW, in my experimenting, I managed to drag the bookmark to the Firefox 
toolbar at the top. Unforrtunately, to call that site up, you have to call 
up Firefox first in order to get
et the toolbar. However, your Deskcut is the best way. Thanks agaain..

Have a Happy New Year.
