Saving an individual AB thread to desktop

[Kenzie]

Is it possible to save an individual question/thread onto your desktop (to be just one click away whenever you needed a laugh) - I am referring to garybaldy's post "It's an outrage!" I am still laughing my socks off at his and other brilliant wits in this thread. I thought I had it sussed when I right clicked on it and saved the target to desktop as suggested by spacechimp in another post but it didn't work. And, yes, I know I'm lucky to have socks ... !

...Just Bookmark it or make it a Favourite, whatever your browser calls it.........right click the page and select the appropriate option....commoner

Nice easy one :)

I'll assume you're using Windows XP.

Find the thread you want to view, and in your address bar at the top of your browser you'll see something like "http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Internet-and-Technology/Q uestion208800.html"

(This is the address for this thread)

Highlight this by right-clicking and copy.
Go to your desktop and right click.
Hover over the New.
You'll then get a submenu and select Shortcut.
You're now on the Create Shortcut screen.
Paste the address you copied earlier by right clicking in the text box and select Paste.
Press the Next Button.
Type in the name you want to call the shortcut (eg Garybaldy).
Press the Finish button.

And you're done. you should have the shortcut on your desktop, double click it to check.

A quicker way is to just left-click and drag the little icon at the top-left of the Internet Explorer window (just before the page title) onto the desktop. This will automatically create the shortcut to whatever web page you are on.

Nice one Aquariel :)
I've learnt something new too!

Sorry for the delay in responding, you guys; I'm on night duty this week and went to bed straight after posting my question this morning.

Anyway, thanks so much - that worked and I now have instant laughter at the click of my mouse.
