Gene Young,
With all due respect, I do not need to ask Google how to create a simple URL to any Windows taskbar. Anyway, that is not what I asked... Seems that Legacy has the ability to replace names, dates, etc. into URL string. Great! Let’s use that feature more, to make it easier for everyone! This is the main place this feature is used (below0, but again 2 clicks required… Would just like my Ancestry button click to go straight to Ancestry for that individual (with names, dates prepopulated in search), not have to click, scroll down menu, click again... OR BTW - The 'Find A Grave' button does it if you click on the upper part of the button (not the lower drop down arrow portion of the icon). So why not Ancestry...? Enhancement please?

Andrew, I can not understand how two clicks is so onerous a chore, however, if you had done a Google search for "Pin Website Shortcut to Taskbar in Windows 10" you would have your one click shortcut in the taskbar, available whenever you want it, even if you are not running Legacy at the moment. What you want is not possible in Legacy. To save you the "extra clicks" I am including the link to the directions on how to accomlish the above in Edge, Chrome and Firefox. <https://www.ghacks.net/2017/08/25/add-your-favorite-websites-to-the-windows-10-taskbar/> https://www.ghacks.net/2017/08/25/add-your-favorite-websites-to-the-windows-10-taskbar/ -- Gene Young <mailto:n2...@cfl.rr.com> n2...@cfl.rr.com On Sun, Jun 28, 2020 at 11:12 PM Andrew Robbie < <mailto:andrew.rob...@comcast.net%20%3cmailto:andrew.rob...@comcast.net> andrew.rob...@comcast.net <mailto:andrew.rob...@comcast.net>> wrote: > Yes, when you do thousands a day... > > > -----Original Message----- > From: LegacyUserGroup < > <mailto:legacyusergroup-boun...@legacyusers.com%20%3cmailto:legacyusergroup-boun...@legacyusers.com> > legacyusergroup-boun...@legacyusers.com > <mailto:legacyusergroup-boun...@legacyusers.com>> On Behalf Of Cathy Pinner > Sent: Sunday, June 28, 2020 10:08 PM > To: Legacy User Group < > <mailto:legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com%20%3cmailto:legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com> > legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com <mailto:legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com>> > Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Anyone know if there is an easy way to configure > a single click button that uses replaceable parameters in URL ? > > Andrew > > If you only want to click once then you can only have an icon that will > open the website rather than set up the search. > Is it so hard to make two clicks instead of setting up the search > yourself in Ancestry??? > The mechanism has been provided to do what you want to do and you're > bothered about the number of clicks to access it? > You can put the Search Internet onto your My Toolbar by customising your > My Toolbar by going to Design > Toolbars > My Toolbar. >
