TSGL: Move Bookmark icon to desktop Cyndi

[EDLYNN]

Cyndi -

Thanks for the suggestion.

One of my problems is with the 'dragging' process. In your suggested 
scenario, I left clicked the bookmark and attempted to drag it to Start, but 
as soon as I headed in that direction, the drag turned into the red circle 
with the skash, llike in 'no smoking'.  Same with right clicking.

In the meantime, Craig's suggestion of the Firefox add-on of Deskcut worked 
just right.

Thanks for the help, and maybe you have a suggestion  for the the 'no drag' 
sign;?

Happy New Year.

ED
