1. Check "recycle bin" for icon first. If it is there, click and hold left mouse button down and drag it to open desktop area and then let go. If it is not there, continue to the next section.
If you want to create an ICON/shortcut in an existing Desktop folder, open that folder first.

2. Select New and then Shortcut from the pop-up menu.
3. This will bring up the "Create Shortcut Window".
4. If you know the path and the name of the executable file (usually a file with .EXE extension), type the path and file name in the "command line:" box.
X:\PATH\FILE NAME
where:
X = drive letter where application resides
path = directory name
file name = name.EXE (.EXE in most cases)
5. If you do not know the path and file name, select "browse".
6. This will bring up the browse window. It contains a "Look in" box, a "Programs" statement in the "Files of type" box, a "File Name" box, and all of the directories/folders on your hard drive in the large window. Scan the folders/directories for the directory you want and double click on that folder.
7. This will display all of the executable/program files in that directory/folder. Select the file name/icon that you are looking for. Usually, the file name you are looking for will contain the name or a portion of the software application name and the icon will be similar to one on publications or disk/disks.
