This doesn't work because you've taken it outside the part of the program that tells the string to pick up the actual details from the current person. Two clicks and the problem is solved. Put the whole Internet Searches on the My Toolbar if that's the tab you have showing all the time. The

Hi Roberta, I appreciate your suggestion, but this ability you outlined affects how you ‘activate’ or execute an icon on your desktop. Instead of double clicking a desktop icon, you can turn them into icons that only need a single click to execute them. What I am trying to do is within

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

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

Not sure if the following will help. Like you, I got fed up with double clicking all the time and my brother told me how to go about it. 1) type "file explorer" in the search box 2) select "file explorer options" 3) under the "General" tab, select single click, then click on "Apply", then

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

Andrew, Go to Internet > Search Internet and read the Help there. There are a number of inbuilt options for various sites like Ancestry but you can make your own for particular databases on Ancestry or elsewhere or any other site that gives a search URL that can be adapted with the relevant
