If you come across an interesting website, you may want to save the page so you can view it at a later time. You may also want to save it for other purposes, such as inserting it into a document. While you can save the page to your browser's Favorites or Bookmarks, you can also save the link directly to your desktop. As long as your left mouse button is in working order, you should have no problems.
