Why Would You Want to Add Website Shortcut to Dock on Mac? If you would like to remove the icon, you can do so by dragging it from your Dock to the Desktop. From now onwards, a single click on the world/globe icon will immediately launch your default browser and open the website. Do not put it in the trash LOL.This is how you can effortlessly create a web link shortcut and add it to the Dock on your Mac for instant access. Want the icon in your dock? Click and drag the icon to the dock just to the left of the trash can. Now you have a shortcut icon on your desktop that will take you right to Facebook with a double click.ĥ. (The reason mine says Facebook.webloc is that I have mine set to show file extensions.)Ĥ. This is what mine looks like after the icon is pasted into it. Click on that icon (you’ll see a faint blue outline) and go to Finder’s Edit menu and choose Paste. Right click on it and choose “Get Info.” At the very top of the info pane is the name of the shortcut and there’s a little Safari icon to the left of it. Go to the desktop and find the URL you dragged to it. From Safari’s drop-down menu, choose Edit>Select All and then choose Edit>Copy. Click “Full-Size Image” in the pane on the right. Find one that you like and double-click on the image. Open Google Images and search for a Facebook logo. Click on the little Facebook icon to the left of the URL and drag the URL to your desktop.Ģ. Open Safari (or any browser I suppose) and type in the URL of the website you want to make a shortcut for. Please leave a comment if your experience is different.ġ. Please note that I’m using OS X Lion, but I can’t imagine that this process is any different for other versions. I found a YouTube video that shows how to do it, but it chokes up after 10 seconds, so my husband figured it out and I thought I’d post the tutorial here. So I told Dana I’d figure it out and let her know. I can make bookmarks in Safari, but heck, who can’t do that? We had a 2-hour FaceTime chat this morning and I got a virtual tour of her new apartment and her girlfriend got a tour of our house.ĭana mentioned that she wanted to make shortcuts on her desktop to various websites like she’s always been able to do in Windows and I realized that I’ve been a Mac user for 5 years and I don’t know how to do this myself.
My sister is a new switcher from PC to Mac and she’s trying to figure things out.
