Shortcuts are items on your computer that make it easier to run your favourite software.The software on your computer is installed in a particular place, to find this would be both time consuming and sometimes confusing, for this reason in Windows there are shortcuts.
The "Start" menu consists mainly of shortcuts and also your desktop can have shortcuts on there as well, a lot of the software you install on your computer will place a shortcut on the desktop of your computer.
The shortcut has a small arrow on the bottom left hand side of the icon.
It is perfectly safe to delete these shortcuts from your desktop, this will not remove the software you have installed on your computer.
You can also create your own shorcuts:
- Click on the software icon you would like to create a shortcut to, this will open a seperate box of options.
- Here you will see a command called "send to", highlight this option by moving down to it with the mouse and this will open another box with options.
- You will then see a command called "Desktop (create shortcut)", left click on this option to create your shortcut.
