Windows Vista Lost AOL icon

[historian]

I use aol for my e-mail.For some time I wasguite happy with it. Then it changed. I lost the icon, both on my pc and my android pad. I now have to go into Google and type out "aol.co.uk" to get to my e-mails.Is there any way I can get an icon or generate one,both on my pc and pad. I am using Vista on my pc.
Many thanks for any reply.

Hi @historian .

Where did you have the AOL icon, was it on your desktop or was it within your browser as a bookmark icon? Also, which browser do you use (Chrome, FireFox, Edge, Internet Explorer)? Once we've got the details, I'm sure we can advise on how to get it back.

Hello Ian.
Sorry for the delay in replying.
My aol icon was on my desktop.
I am using "firefox" as my browser. I was using internet explorer,but was informed that it was no longer supported by Google for those using "Vista"....like me.

Ah, it looks like AOL desktop has been discontinued earlier in the year:
