27. HOW TO ADD SHORTCUTS TO THE DESKTOP

A shortcut is an icon on the desktop that you click to open an application. This saves you from having to navigate the path to the actual location of the file. It's easy to add a shortcut:

* Right-click anywhere on the desktop. A pop-up menu appears. Select 'New', then 'Shortcut' and a 'Create Shortcut' window opens.
* Use the 'Browse' button to find the path to the application or program.
* Select the icon of the program you want and the path to it appears in the 'command line' box.
* Click 'next' and a 'Select a Title' box appears where you are asked to enter a name for the shortcut.
* Enter a name and then click 'finish'. The new shortcut appears on the desktop. Drag the shortcut icon to where you want it on the desktop.
