Use the Browse button to locate the file, folder, or program you want the shortcut to point to, then click on Next. This will start the Create Shortcut wizard. To create a new shortcut on the desktop, right click on an empty area of the desktop and select New, Shortcut. With shortcuts, you can have the applications and folders you use the most in the locations where they are easiest to access, such as the desktop or the quick launch bar. When you delete the shortcut, the original file it points to is not deleted. It is not an exact copy of the original file. The shortcut is a small file that takes very little space because it only has information about the location of the original file. This pointer can point to a program, a file, or a folder. A shortcut is a pointer to a file on your hard drive.
