  What kind of shortcut?  FWIW I just click right on my desk, new > shortcut and it gives then the shortcut Wizard:

  cmd.exe /c echo hi & pause

  Then he called Test.

  It seems even easier that I remember XP.   For example do a right click of my new Test shortened reminds the complexity that someone just starting to create a shortcut could face.

  desktop shortcut

  where can I get the shortcut on the desktop

  I might have misunderstood your question entirely.

  A longer sentence with a development could avoid this.

  With nothing good to go on, my answer would be... you must create it.

  Example: create a shortcut on the desktop of Windows Media Player...

  Start button > all programs > scroll down the list to find Windows Media Player > right click it > click send to > select desktop (create shortcut).

  A Windows Media Player shortcut is now on your desktop.

• How to create a shortcut on the desktop to msn

  I'm doing new Vista loaded as user friendly than our previous XP.  Need help to create a shortcut on the desktop to msn, so everything we need to do is click the butterfly icon to connect.  Also need to know how to download the msn toolbar.  Thank you!

  Hello

  MSN toolbar
  http://www.Microsoft.com/toolbar/

  Loading of the toolbar can make the icon.

  If you wish to make your homepage of MSN, and then when IE is started it will take you to MSN.

  You can also make MSN Favorites page in IE - then go to your Favorites - right-click on the favorite MSN
  then go to the desktop - Right Click and PASTE the SHORTCUT.

  I hope this helps.

• How to create a shortcut on the desktop to a Notepad document?

  I have something written down in Notepad and you want to create a link to that on the desktop

  Not sure if I understand the problem. But here's a response to just about anything if you do a RIGHT CLICK you get a MENU list and there you should find "create shortcut". Make a LEFT CLICK and you should see it appear in the folder your in. Then if you RIGHT click ON the shortcut you can 'COPY' or 'CUT' and then do a RIGHT CLICK and 'PASTE' anywhere.

  Good luck

• How to open the file manager in the 'my documents' or create a shortcut that I can place on the taskbar and how to create a shortcut on the desktop

  So many steps required in Windows 7 that were not required before.  One is, I was not able to directly open the file manager to 'my documents', either by placing a shortcut on the taskbar setting enpoidsouen file manager it opens there automatically tasks.

  Also, while I am, I wish you could put a shortcut to 'my computer' on the taskbar, as in former times.  It's a nuisance to the taskbar for these choices, in part because you cannot minimize the folder - must close completely.

  Any ideas?

• Shortcut on the desktop for Windows Defender

  Hello. I have Windows 7 starter on my netbook and want to create a shortcut on the desktop for Windows Defender. However, it does not appear as a program in the start menu and the option to display the control panel more big or small icons is greyed out (i.e., not available in starter edition), I don't see the program on the control panel or the other. The only way I can get to it is to type in 'Defender' in the search field in the start menu or the search field on the control panel. Although one of these actions will locate Windows Defender, they do not provide me the ability to create a shortcut for the application. I tried searching in Program Files on the C drive and found him, but did not know which file right-click on the folder to create a shortcut file. If anyone can help me, I would appreciate it.

  Second, Windows Defender is updated analysis scheduled around 02:00 every morning, but my computer isn't on then, I expect to do a scan automatically the next day when I turned the computer back on. He did not do that and always displays the last analysis as being the manual I did the day before. Is it possible to get auto-start if it misses its slot 02,00 regular?

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  Thank you both for responding: I did click right and do drag the thing like that seemed simpler and it worked: thank you. Are you able to let me know how to get the Defender to make an auto scan when I turn on the computer if it misses its slot 02,00?

  Thank you.

• How to add a shortcut on the desktop for streets & trips 2013 for windows 7

  Just installed MS streets and trips 2013, I do not see anywhere how to send a shortcut on the desktop. Tried to do a right click on the programs, but this option is not started.

  I don't have the application under test, but normally you right click on the exe programs (or registering in the program menu) and either "create shortcut" or "send to" and then "desktop".

  If the options are not there, your office, do new right click - shortcut, find your exe file of programs (the actual file you want to run) and and we should end up with a shortcut on your desktop to your program. (hopefully :-))
