Computer Tips #2: Put Programs On Your Desktop

You’ve probably already figured out that you can put documents, pictures, and other things you frequently use on your desktop, but you may not realize that you can also put your most often used programs on your desktop too. This is one of those computer tips that is often neglected.

Getting the program there is a little tricky, but it’s certainly a lot quicker than scrolling through your giant Start menu to find the program each time.

First, find the program in your Start menu, then place the mouse over the program and click the right-side mouse button once. Chose the option that says Create Shortcut On Desktop. The program icon should immediately appear on your desktop—now you can start it any time you want with a simple double-click. When you get to pro status you can re-size your desktop icons.
