How do I set a shortcut?

To ensure quick access to anyonefile, folder or program, you can make a shortcut (link). Then you can just one mouse click directly from the desktop to run the program or open a folder or file. How to set a shortcut on the desktop? Let's figure it out.

Create a shortcut direct

Direct path - this means directly from the place of storage of the desired file or folder.

1. We find on your computer the folder we are interested in (document, program).
2. Click on the image with the right mouse button.
3. In the opened window select the menu item "Create shortcut" and click on it with the left mouse button.
4. A shortcut will appear in the same folder (possibly next to the required document). It will look just like the icon of the file itself, but with the arrow in the lower left corner of the new icon.
5. Create the shortcut to the desktop.

Create a shortcut "bypass" way

This way you can create a shortcut to the file or directly from the desktop.

1. On the desktop in any empty place, click the right mouse button.
2. In the opened window select the menu item "Create". In the new window that opens, select the menu item "Label" - another window will open.
3. Next to the empty line of this window, we see the "Browse" button, and find the file (folder) that interests us.
4. Click the left mouse button on this file to make it stand out by the marker and click the "OK" button.
5. An empty line will write the path to the document.
6. Press the "Next" button and enter the label name.
7. Click on the "Done" button - a shortcut will appear on the desktop.
