Shortcut to gmail

C_Ronaldo

can you do it, just a little shortcut down at the bottom of the screen

How about using the gmail notifier which sits next to the clock? Double clicking on it brings up your inbox. You can set it up so that it logs in whenever you boot your PC up? It's useful because it shows when you have new mail in your inbox.

[ mail.google.com/mail/help/notifier/ ]

There are more elegant ways, but if you copy the url in the address bar of your browser when showing GMail to the clipboard, (highlight it and Ctrl + c will work), then right click on your desktop, and create a new shortcut. In the location, paste (Ctrl +v) the url in. Next, name it something like Gmail and finish.

If you want it in your task bar, make sure it is unlocked, and drag your new shortcut down onto it.

Should work OK.

Hi,

I meant to copy the url into the first box that pops up when you want to create a new shortcut - it specifically asks for an address/location.

You didn't mean the name box, or you weren't trying to create a folder were you?

Works for me.

If you use IE then you can download the google toolbar which has an icon link to gmail.

or using mozilla just bookmark your loggin page and add it to your book mark bar.

Dont get the Toolbar just the Notifier

Its real easy to fix that problem if it arises.
