I simply want to add a QB button to my desktop for easier access. How do I do that?

Let me help you with this one, larry82.

We can add a QuickBooks Online (QBO) shortcut icon to your desktop screen whether you’re using a Windows computer or a Mac (OS X). These steps will work for all browsers. Here's how: 

1. Close or minimize any open windows until you can see the desktop screen.
2. Open the browser you normally use QuickBooks Online with but make sure it is windowed such that you can still see the desktop screen behind it.
3. Go to the sign-in page: https://qbo.intuit.com/
4. On the address bar, you will see a QuickBooks icon right beside the website address.
5. Drag and drop it onto the desktop screen.

The icon may appear as a lock icon, depending on the browser you are using. Once done, double-click the new desktop icon to open QBO in your default browser any time you need it.

Feel free to visit our Account Management page for more insights about managing your Intuit accounts.
