    How to create an icon for Yahoo mail on desktop in Windows 10?

    Hello Barbara,

    Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. We will assist you in resolving the issue.

    From the above description, I understand you want to place a Yahoo mail icon on your PC’s desktop.

    Before assisting further, when you say “icon for Yahoo mail”, do you mean to create shortcut of the mail application on desktop?

    You can create desktop shortcuts for all the system applications and web pages on Windows 10.

    To create a shortcut for Yahoo mail, I suggest you to follow the steps below:

    • Right click on empty space of the desktop and hover the mouse pointer over at
      New from the context menu.
    • Select Shortcut and type https://mail.yahoo.com web address in the address bar.
    • Click on Next and Finish.
    • Check if the shortcut icon is created on the desktop.
    • Double click on the created shortcut icon and configure the browser in which you like to open the page in.
