Gmail as a desktop icon

[punch_t]

Not a problem as such but I would like to put an icon on the desktop that goes directly to gmail. Does anyone know how to do this? :D

A simple way is, if using chrome, is to have gmail on start up in the chrome settings and just drag the chrome icon onto the desktop from the menu.

Adding chrome to the start config file will have gmail opening when the pc turns on as an extra.
