I. Creating desktop shortcuts for the most commonly used programs or files:

  1. Go to Start - > Programs and then to the program, or browse to any file you want to create a
      shortcut for in Windows Explorer or in My Documents

  2. When you have located the program icon on the Start Menu or the file in question, right
      mouse click on it, hold the mouse cursor over Send To, and then click on Desktop (create
      shortcut) from the submenu that appears

  3. You’re done (there will now be an icon on your Windows desktop which you can drag and
      drop wherever you would like to place it)
