Open these websites just like any other programs on your computer. Create an application shortcut for the website you’re on:

Click the Page menu.
Select Create application shortcuts.
In the ‘Google Gears’ dialog box, select the checkboxes where you want shortcuts to be placed on your computer.
- Desktop
- Start menu
- Quick launch bar
Click the OK button.

When you double-click a shortcut icon, the web application opens in a special streamlined window that gives you as much working room as possible.
