23.09 Desktop Shortcuts

Remember all that double-clicking to find the share drives? Really, you only need to do that once, and then make a desktop shortcut. If you’re using a network resource frequently, shortcut it. Just browse to the drive/folder that contains the folder you want to shortcut. Select the folder. Then, right mouse. From the pop-up menu, choose the “Send to” option, then select Desktop (create shortcut) from the pull-down menu. Then, you will have that shortcut on your desktop and won’t need to go searching each time you need the resources. (Note, like many things in Windows, there are other ways to create a desktop shortcut. The above is one way, but others are just as good).
