Greets, I don't have a PC, so I tossed this into Google's AI for you: To change the destination of a desktop shortcut on a Windows PC, you need to edit its Properties. The specific setting is typically found in the "Web Document" or "Shortcut" tab, where you can modify the URL or Target path. Step-by-Step Instructions 1. Right-click the "Writing dot com" shortcut icon on your desktop. 2. Select "Properties" from the context menu that appears. 3. In the properties window, look for and click on the "Web Document" tab or the "Shortcut" tab (the exact name may vary slightly depending on the shortcut type and Windows version). 4. Find the field labeled "URL", "Target", or "Destination". The current web address will be displayed there. 5. Edit the existing URL to the new, specific page on Writing.com you want the shortcut to open. Make sure the new URL is a complete web address (e.g., www.writing.com). 6. Click "Apply" and then "OK" to save your changes. * If the "Target" or "URL" field is grayed out and uneditable, the shortcut might have been created with administrator permissions. In that case, you may need to right-click the shortcut, select "Run as administrator," and then try to repeat the steps above. Hope this helps!
