You can place shortcuts on the desktop to access frequently used documents or applications. This is the desktop equivalent of pinning tiles to the Start screen. After you create a shortcut, you simply double-click the shortcut to open a document or app.
Click the File Explorer button on the desktop taskbar.
Locate the folder, document, or application you want to create a shortcut for.
Right-click the item, and choose Create Shortcut from the menu that appears.
Click and drag the shortcut for the item that appears in File Explorer onto your desktop.
To delete a shortcut, right-click it and choose Delete. To rename a shortcut, right-click and choose Rename from the same shortcut menu.
