Please try the following steps from Google

Making a shortcut to Gmail using any other browser

You can put a shortcut to any webpage on your desktop or quick launch bar, so Gmail, being just a webpage, is a doddle. This will work with any website at all, but we’re using Gmail as an example.

1. Go to your Gmail inbox using your browser of choice
2. Copy the text that is in the address bar (see below if you don’t know what that is)
3. Go to the desktop and right-click, then choose New>Shortcut
4. Paste the webpage address you copied into the ‘Create Shortcut‘ dialogue. Click ‘next’
5. Type a name for the shortcut. ‘Gmail’ is the obvious one. Click ‘Finish’.
6. Test your new shortcut and make sure it works. A window or tab should open showing Gmail. If not, delete it and have another try.
7. The shortcut is now on your desktop. Leave it there, or we suggest drag it to the taskbar (the taskbar is the row of icons at the bottom of the screen that are always there) or start menu, and that’s where it will stay. Or if your version of Windows supports it, you can sometimes just right click on the icon and get the option to ‘Pin to taskbar’ or ‘Pin to start menu’.
