Week 1: Computer
Basics
Lesson 12: Work on the Desktop
• You can create shortcuts on the desktop to files or folders
that you use frequently. A shortcut is an icon that is a direct
link to a file or folder. For example, most desktops already have
shortcut icons that lead to My Documents, My Computer and
the Recycle Bin.
• A good tip is to try to keep the desktop free of clutter. If you
have too many shortcuts, it will become difficult to find what
you are looking for, thus defeating the purpose of the shortcut.
