Re: Bookmarks on desktop
Hmm, I would think one could do this with AppleScript Create link and save . Of course if we are going to hit applescript then with UI programming, one could just initiate the drag / drop of the ICON in the address bar.

Re: Bookmarks on desktop
The only way I could figure out how to make Web locations without using drag and drop was to create one in a text editor. I just open TextEdit, make sure I'm in plain text mode and then paste in the following text: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? !DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC -//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd; plist version=1.0 dict keyURL/key stringhttp://www.aol.com/string /dict /plist Then just change the URL on the 6th line to whatever you want and save it as something like www.aol.com.webloc.
