Moving 'favorites' to desktop using IE7

With IE7, I can't seem to find a way to move something that is in my favorites to my desktop? B4 IE7 you had a choice of several options... sending to desktop, disk, email, etc. Am I overlooking something very simple?
Thanks for your help,

    Right click on what you want to move from favorites. Left click on copy. Then go to desktop, and on any open spot, right click the desktop, then left click paste. There is your icon on you desktop!
     
    Hope this helps.

    That is how it was set up before I upgraded to 7.0. Now the fav's are listed with options of "open, open in new tab, create new folder, sort by name/print/cut, copy/delete,rename/ and or properties. No where do you have a choice of sending to desktop, email, etc. Thanks for your reply anyway, but that doesn't work in this case.

    On my IE7 and obviously dimples1945's, the "send to desktop" option with a rightclick is not there. Is it on yours?
