How do I eliminate the "do you want to CREATE a shortcut to desktop"  YES or no box that appears after clicking "create desktop shortcut" with a right mouse click?
If I didn't want to create the shortcut I wouldn't have selected it in the first place.  Create Desktop Shortcut? Where is this? (or is this Vista?)This is using XP.   You know like when you are on any web page and you want to put a shortcut to that page on the desktop you right click and get the menu.  You select "create shortcut".  But then I get this box I don't want that says "Do you want this shortcut PLACED on the desktop."  How do I eliminate this additional message/question?   Thanks!Ah, you mean in Internet Explorer.

Google didn't help much, and I'm not a regular IE user, so I am afraid I can't be much help here. (HOPEFULLY someone will be along shortly with a definite answer, but I don't think it can be removed)

Does this really bug you? Try doing it a different way...

Click and hold the link you want to save, and drag it onto an open space on the desktop. This should create a shortcut straight away.Unless it's the current page you want to link to, in which case you can drag the Tab to the Desktop.
