How to install shortcuts on the desktop

I would like to create shortcuts on my desktop for frequently used internet sites.  How can I do this?

Deborah

Is that a simple Strawberry question requires a bit of work.  If you want to create a shortcut (for say, your browser) you have to find the file that you want to run (they will normally be in program files, or program filesx86)

Then right click on this file and click on create a shortcut.  That drag on the desktop, and you're done.

It should look like this

  • Palm Zire 31 sitting idle for too long and then my hard drive has crashed - I got my palmOne from HDD files but don't know how to install it on the desktop?

    Because this product is no longer supported by the manufacturer, I hope that someone out there will be able to help me find a way to get my calendar and contacts restored on the desktop.  My pocket computer sat unused for a very long time, but my desk calendar and contacts were until that my hard drive crashed.  I was able to retrieve the files of PalmOne since the hard drive crashed, but all I can see are the *.dat files.  When I try to import or restore, the *.dat is not a supported file extension.  Help!  I have the original installation CD. Thank you

    .dat files are Palm Desktop is looking for work - you can not import them.

    Just create a user in Palm Desktop and copy the files (having more than 1 KB of data) the current .dat address.dat and datebook.dat (or calendar.dat, I don't know which existed on your device).

  • 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 :-))

  • 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.

    Hello...
    How to create a toolbar of shortcuts on the desktop

    Unfortunately, this feature is no longer available with Windows 7. I was surprised myself so since Vista was fine with it, but in Windows 7, we all need to just get used to using the feature of the taskbar QuickLaunch. You can pin any icon you want in the taskbar and use it to your quick launch of this program.

    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.
