It's amazing how you'll try to do ONE thing with Windows and it'll do something else. "I needed you to close, but if you intend on maximizing, I can't do anything to stop ya." I got tired of using the upper right-hand corner 'X' one night, so I used the classic method of double-clicking the upper left-hand corner icon in Explorer. During this process, my cursor drifted (effectively, dragging while still keeping the left mouse button pressed). To my surprise, when I let go (hovering over the Desktop), a shortcut was created! You can do this in the Windows or Internet Explorer; double-click then drag & drop that upper-left hand icon to the Desktop to create a shortcut for the current folder/page.
