Part 1: creating the shortcut

Go to the website you find useful and want quick access to
For example: nu.nl , open in your browser: https:/www.nu.nl
Click (with the left mouse button) on the address bar where the website address is shown, it will turn blue.
If it does not automatically turn blue, you need to select the address and highlight it yourself
Right-click on the blue text and choose: Copy
Click the minus sign to minimise the web browser so you can see the desktop
Right-click on the desktop and choose: New -> Shortcut
Right-click in the location rectangle and choose: Paste
Click Next
Give the shortcut the name of the website and click: Finish

You now have your shortcut
