While Windows 10 enables us to pin a shortcut to start or to our taskbars many still prefer a shortcut directly on their desktop. Here are the simple steps to create a shortcut on your desktop

Open your Start menu and find the program you wish to create a shortcut for. Right Click the program's icon and select More -> Open file location. (Screenshot below)

Now simply right click the program or it's shorcut and select Send To ->Desktop(shortcut)

You now have a shiny new shortcut on your desktop :-)
