This is because when you go to the correct link, the browser will update itself and immediately send you to another page that ends in “.htm” making it difficult to save the correct link. Saving that page means you bypass updates. To create a Windows desktop shortcut to access IPM: 1. On your desktop, right-click in a clear area and select New > Shortcut… 2. Enter the text as shown (this is for the IPM 3.0 Production site): 3. Click the Next button and enter an appropriate name for the shortcut like: 4. Click the Finish button. 5.
