Typically, shortcut icons are found on the desktop. A shortcut is a pointer to an item. The shortcut icon
can be anywhere in the Windows OS. When you want to open
the item, double click on the shortcut icon instead of
searching My Computer or accessing it through the Start
Menu. Below are images of program shortcut icons. The
key to looking for shortcut items is the arrow in the
bottom left-hand corner of the icon.
