• How can I put a shortcut for a private network virtual desktop with a MacBook Air?

  I can't find ANYTHING telling me how to put these types of shortcuts on the desktop for OS X 10.11.4. It is obvious in the Windows.

  Select the item then hold down the command and Option keys while dragging the icon of its location on the desktop, then release the keys. Otherwise, select the element and CTRL - or RIGHT click and select Create an Alias in the context menu. This method creates the alias in the same directory as the actual file. You then can he hang out everywhere where you want it or copy and paste. You can then remove the alias of the original file.

• How can I move web shortcuts on my desktop into folders on my desktop?

  I have too many shortcuts to Web sites on my desktop and I need to organize.  How can I move them into folders?  Many of them were placed on my desk by my organization and can not be deleted, so I would put them in folders and own things!

  Hello Rebecca,

  Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.

  According to the description, you need to organize and move the shortcuts to Web sites into folders on the system.

  Certainly, I understand your concern.

  I suggest you try the following steps to create a folder on the desktop.

  1. Right click on the taskbar at the bottom of your screen, and then clicking Show Desktop.
  2. Right-click in an open space on your desktop, click new, and then click folder.
  3. Type a name for the folder, and then press enter to complete the creation of your new folder on the desktop.
  4. You can move the folder to the desktop by clicking on the folder, and then drag it to the desired location.
  5. You can also rename a folder by right-clicking the folder, and then clicking Rename.

  Note: Once the folder is created, you can simply drag and drop shortcuts from the site on this particular issue.

  How can I put shortcuts to websites in a bar (?) tool bar/browser... dunno what it's called. With IE, I can just drag the tab of the site to the area I want

  Near the right end of the address bar is a White Star which can be hard to see, but look closely. When you want to add a shortcut to the toolbar, double-click the star. A window opens with the name of the Web page. Under this is the area of folder which will probably read "Unsorted Bookmarks". Click on the drop down arrow and change it to "Bookmarks Toolbar", then click done.

  I have several folders on my toolbar such as music, Mail, etc. in which I add several Web sites. If you want to add a folder, click on the second drop-down arrow next to "Bookmark Toolbar" and click on "New folder" and give it a name.

  To add a bookmark to a folder, once again double click on the star, make sure you're in the bookmarks bar and click one of the fall of two arrows to find the name of the folder.

  For other bookmarks use Menu bookmark. What is added here are accessible through bookmarks in the menu bar. If your Menu bar with bookmark, file, display, etc. is not visible, click the ALT key and they will become visible. To keep the menu bar, click view, toolbars and check the menu bar.
