IE 7 drag icon

In IE7, how do you drag an web page icon to desktop? I used to go to the upper left corner and drag the icon to desktop. Then I'd have a link to a page. Can't seem to do that in tab or header bar.

jefro - why not try MSVP Sandi Hardmeier's site HERE.
It is her first dedicated IE7 Site to go live. Who knows you may find what you're looking for so I suggest you check it out. For myself I gave up playing with IE7 Beta.

You do the same thing you've been doing all along before IE7 surfaced.
Simply go to the upper left corner and drag the icon to desktop. Then you'd have a shortcut link to the page on your desktop.
I am not surprised you can't seem to do that in tab or header bar, and why you are trying to do it from there is even beyond me.

lukeles! Darn, thanks. I didn't see that. I was grabbing my wrong icon.
XpUser, will do. Kind of think you are correct. Not an great improvement and might be slower.
