Desktop Shortcut for Thunderbird Address book
(BTW - not sure why the Thunderbird help process ended me up here, but I guess they know.....)
There used to be (way back when) a way to get start the TB address book module directly with a desktop command-line type shortcut. I've been away from TB for many years, but am back now - but I'll be snookered if I can find out how to get the address book up without having to start TB and then click in.
Chosen solution
Use the -addressbook command, e.g. Windowskey+R, enter
thunderbird.exe -addressbook
or the full path, e.g.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Thunderbird78R\thunderbird.exe -addressbook
if the exe is in C:\Program Files (x86)\Thunderbird78R
Use full path to create a desktop shortcut.
Ctrl+1 to open the main window if only Address Book is open.
