How To Create & Add Desktop Shortcut Icons In Windows 11 | A Quick & Easy Guide

could you tell me how fix the user icon that shrunk (only user icon shrunk and not the other icons which makes it look odd)

Awesome. I just needed to see it once.

How do I create a DESKTOP Icon for QuickAssist?

In Windows 10, I was able to drag the icon from file explorer's address bar to the desktop, but Windows 11 no longer has that feature. Any ideas on bringing that back?

Well, 129k views and only 300 likes💔 That's not justified..you got my like❤

You made it so easy I didn't even have to bother watching after 13 seconds. Thanks again.

did not find a printer nor could i move it from startup menu. i can find it.

I don’t like boxy icons

I found that really helpful. Thank you.

Thx, you’re the best! 😁🤟

Thanks for simple explaination 👍

I'm just trying to add the Xbox shortcut to my desktop and it doesn't want to let me add any "App's" not "Program's" to the Desktop as a shortcut, right clicking on an app doesn't even give you the option to view file location. Only clicking and dragging does, that was oddly stupid and frustrating no extra right click context menu's on app's.

i just laughing so hard rn because how lame im hahahha

Thank you Now I can play NFS Rivals, GTA 3 and GTA Vice city without going into files

Thanks for making this so simple, it helped me out a lot.

It doesn’t say open file location

Recently bought a new windows 11 laptop and have been trying to create desktop shortcuts for my usual apps, etc, but having difficulty, so was glad to find your video. But unfortunately this is not working for me. Are there some system settings I need to alter to enable me to do the methods that you illustrate? When attempting to drag from start menu to desktop, it lets me drag it but then jumps itself back to the start menu, with a little icon over it - small circle with diagonal line - as if to say "stop, not allowed!". Also, trying the other method - but unable to find the path. What am I doing wrong? 😟

Thanks man this helped me out, I'm new to PC's I got my first one yesterday so I've been lost in setting it up
