I'd like to cut out a step or two of accessing my bookmarks by being able to open the bookmark library dialog right from my desktop. Is there a way to create a shortcut or widget to do this? I am not interested in a shortcut to a particular website. I want to open the bookmark library as it appears when using ctrl+shift+b when the browser is open. thanks R Marshall
