How To Add Desktop Shortcut Icons Back To Google Gears Applications
I’m a fan of Google Gears, but things still tend to be a bit buggy. If you accidentally delete the desktop shortcuts to your Google Gears services, here is how you get them back.
- Log out of the online service
- Go to Tools > Gears Settings (or the equivalent in your browser)
- Click Remove next to the url of the service you are trying to repair
- Click Apply at the bottom of the window
- Clear your cookies and other offline data
- Log back into the service
- You should be prompted to enable Google gears and install desktop icons
I just spent my whole morning trying to figure this one out. Good luck.
