Send to Desktop

[Guest]

I don't seem to have this option when I right click on short cut or
application.

Copy this file:

C:\Users\Default\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo\Desktop (create
shortcut)

and Paste it into this folder:

C:\Users\(YOUR ACCOUNT NAME)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo

These paths are normally hidden, so you'll have have Windows show hidden
files.

Hi Ron,

Desktop (create shortcut) is actually Desktop (create shortcut).DeskLink,
with the .DeskLink extension being "super-hidden" by Windows. So, unlike
regular shortcuts, the option to change its icon isn't possible. What you
can do, however, is go to

C:\Users\(YOUR ACCOUNT NAME)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo

and right-click on the file Desktop (create shortcut), and choose Create
Shortcut. Then, right-click on the "original" Desktop (create shortcut) and
change its properties to hidden (Apply>OK), so that you don't have two
Desktop (create shortcut)'s in your context menu. Then rename "Desktop
(create shortcut) - Shortcut" to "Desktop (create shortcut)". You can now
change the icon to this new file, because its a normal shortcut.
