Application shortcuts

Web Applications: Application shortcuts
Many websites, such as email services, operate like actual programs, similar to those on your computer desktop.

Open these websites just like any other programs on your computer. Create an application shortcut for the website you're on:

Click the Page menu.
Select Create application shortcuts.
In the 'Google Gears' dialog box, select the checkboxes where you want shortcuts to be placed on your computer.
Desktop
Start menu
Quick launch bar
Click the OK button.
When you double-click a shortcut icon, the web application opens in a special streamlined window that gives you as much working room as possible. Learn more about application windows.
