Creating the Shortcut

2) Right click on the Desktop and hover over New > and select Shortcut. This will open the "Create Shortcut" window.

3) Select the "Browse" Button.

• Expand the (C:) drive 
• Expand Program Files (x86)

• Select iexplore.exe 
• Click OK to close the Browse window

5) Back on the "Create Shortcut" window, the text box will look something like this: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"

6) At the end of that file path, put a space (with your spacebar) and then type the address of the CSS database.
