Just curious. I know it sounds ridicules, but is it possible to put a functioning browser short cut on the desktop for FF or SeaMonkey? TIA

Yep, just right click on that exe and choose create shortcut and drag that shortcut to your desktop.

That will work for portable versions of Firefox & SeaMonkey?

 

[dodong]

Yes it will be working.

Ok, will give it a shot, Seasons Greetings(y)

Shortcuts are - - shortcuts; everywhere.
The interesting issue/problem is a shortcut pointing to a removable device

• eg foo.exe shortcut -> e:\thumbdrive\foo.exe

and obviously requires E: to be mounted

Btw: A portable App:-

1. does not require entries in the Windows Registry (the primary meaning)
2. should not need to load any DLLs (ie they should be linked statically with the *.exe)

#1 is absolutely required and #2 frequently is but not required.
