What does the permalink button do?

I noticed the permalink button in the top right corner of each post. What does it do? Can I link certain threads to my desktop to open them easily?

I never noticed it before...now I am afraid to hit it

If you would like to make reference to a certain post, you click on the permalink. Then copy&paste the url in the post you are making for a link that will go right to that post.

OK., Thanks..I was hoping it would somehow create a shortcut from my desktop directly to the threads I was following closely.
