I’m probably just simple-minded, but I think that process is complicated enough that MS should describe it somewhere in Cortana’s memory with a high enough priority that it would show up near the top of queries related to desktop, shortcuts, and W10. I will guess that if you can search and find the “title” for a similar “executable” file for websites, apps, etc., the similar last step will work. Select, then drag and drop, icon for the executable program (WINWORD.exe). Select and open program folder (office 14) Scroll to desired program listing (will be three “layers” in this example, e.g. Open Windows Explorer (sometimes still identified as WE, now often called File Explorer), probably an icon on the task bar.Ĭlick on Program Files (possibly Program Files (x86) for some other programs) What I finally found to work for MS Word): Step 4: Select Desktop option from there and than click on create button. My interest was to get old-fashioned ‘programs ‘ (like MS Word) to have shortcuts on the desktop like W7. Step 3: At the top right hand corner of your screen, click on tripple hrizontal icon and scroll down to 'Tools' and than click on 'create application shortcut'. “Official” Microsoft instructions are essentially non-existent, so we are all stuck with exchanging amateur adventures that aren’t particularly general and often now clearly expressed (mine included). I generally agree that Windows 10 is so much more complicated than Windows 7, that many things that were easy (and had gotten sort of intuitive) in Windows 7 are now more complicated and (at least) temporarily unintuitive. Up pops a list of items like File Explorer, Settings, Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, Videos, HomeGroup, and Network, so that you can turn on or off the ones you like.I don’t claim to be an expert, to understand all the variations above, or that my solution will work for all. Finally, click “Choose which folders appear on Start.” In the Settings window, choose Personalization. As shown in the video above-you choose Settings from the Start menu. What’s great, though, is that you can add other important folders to this list. Hard though it may be to believe, there may come a day when you want to shut down or restart your computer.Īll apps opens the complete master list of all your programs, as described below. Yes, adjusting the settings and preferences of your PC is about six steps quicker now, since Settings is listed right here in the Start menu. This “app” is the standard desktop window, showing the contents of your drives and folders. On a shiny new PC, the list includes things like:įile Explorer. In general, the bottom of the left side of the Start menu in Windows 10 is devoted to listing important places on the computer.
