Shortcut - A quick way to start a program or open a file or folder without having to search for its exact location on your computer.  Icons that have have tiny black arrows in their bottom-left corner. The black arrow indicates the icon is a shortcut. Each shortcut points to the location of a file, folder, drive or program.

NOTE:  You can delete a shortcut and the file or program it points to remains on your computer. However, if you delete the file or program itself, not only will it be gone for good but any existing shortcuts to that object will no longer work.

To create a shortcut

1. Right-click on the program on your program list

2. Go to Send to

3. Click on Desktop (create shortcut)
