Creating New Desktop Icons
As many people know, there are several ways to do things in a Windows Operating System environment.  But the easiest way to get to your applications/programs is to create a shortcut right on your desktop so you can just click and be on your way:

• RIGHT click on your mouse button and choose NEW -- from there choose SHORTCUT and BROWSE though your hard drive to find the application you wish to create a desktop icon or "shortcut" to.

• EXAMPLE: You want to create a desktop icon for America Online or your Word Processor so that you dont have to go through the start menu each time.  Follow the above, and when you get to BROWSE look through your hard drive to where your application might typically be.  America Online could be found in an AOL folder, Microsoft applications could be found in MS Office, or Winword folders.  Then just look for the icon and double click on it.

• Go TO WINDOWS EXPLORER or MY COMPUTER: Browse for the icon application on your C: drive, and just click on the icon, hold your mouse button down and drag it to your desktop.
