Creating a Shortcut to a File or Folder
It could take you a while to access a file or folder buried several levels down in a file hierarchy. To save some time, you can create shortcuts to the items you use frequently. A shortcut is a link that you can place in any location to gain instant access to a particular file, folder, or program on your hard disk or on a network just by double-clicking. The actual file, folder, or program remains stored in its original location, and you place an icon representing the shortcut in a convenient location, such as in a folder or on the desktop.
Create a Shortcut to a File or Folder
- Open the drive or folder containing the file or folder in which you want to create a shortcut.
- Right-click the file or folder, and then click Create shortcut.
- To change the shortcut's name, right-click the shortcut, click Rename from the shortcut menu, type a new name, and then press Enter.
- Drag the shortcut to the desired location.
