Harro1,
Try this:
- Right click on your Windows desktop, select "New" from the menu and from the flyout menu choose "Shortcut."
- For the "location of the item" enter http://mail.aol.com/
- Click "Next"
- Type a name for this shortcut that makes sense to you, like AOL Mail.
- Click "Finish" and Voila! You should have a shortcut on your desktop that launches your default browser and goes to AOL Mail.
- If you want to make it prettier, you can download an icon at:
- Download the icon to a known place on your computer. Make sure you get an ".ico" file, not jpeg or png.
- Right click on the shortcut you created and click "Properties.'
- On the Web Document tab, click Change Icon . . .
- Browse to wherever you saved the .ico file, select it and click Open.
- Click OK to close the Change Icon window and OK to close the Aol Mail Properties window and you should be good to go.
For the record, I also remember MS-DOS and PC-DOS. The first computer I used regularly ran on CP/M. (But I'm not quite as old as you . . . )

Unfortunately, many people deny experience - they keep doing the same things over and over and expect each time a different result. This is a clear sign of insanity....
