I already have three of these on my d/top and should know how to do this!
Please--can some-one remind me how...please!

Go to the 3 dots and choose create shortcut

Or get an email client like thunderbird, outlook etc and put in the Gmail Imap settings and password.....

Thanks, that doesn't work, I think my problem seems to be I'm using Google not Google Chrome for a search engine??
Is it worth installing Chrome.

Thunderbird + Google as default search engine works ok for me.

OK. the short-cut appears on the screen but it displays my own email address each time.
I then amend it to the new one but it has reverted, at next opening, to my own address again.

Your choice of browser (Chrome, Edge, Safari, etc.) has no impact on being able to create shortcuts on your desktop.

• If you are using Internet Explorer, then you should upgrade to a modern browser.
• If you are using Edge, then it is based on the same codebase as Chrome so there is little difference.

Likewise, your default search engine (Google, Bing, etc.) has no impact on being able to create shortcuts on your desktop.

• What is "the new one"? Did you create a new email address?
• Uploading a screenshot of what you're seeing (with your email address scratched out) might help.
