Cutting the distances: the Shortcut

We've talked about the Start and Programs menu and we've mentioned something about Shortcuts. Well, all the items in Programs menu are called Shortcuts.
ShortcutShortcuts are icons that give you fast access to "distant files/folders". They are easily recognized by Shortcut mark at the bottom-left of the icon. You can create your own shortcuts. Suppose you've create a file at c:\temp\Myfolder\another\anotherfolder\file1.txt
The shortcut can be stored on the Desktop, it will send you to the distant location above with a single click, so you don't have to go through all the folders.

Right-click on the desktop, select New>>Shortcut, click Browse to specify the location, click next, name the shortcut with something informative and click FINISH
One cool thing is that if you tried to create a shortcut for something on your computer like a Windows program, it will automatically name the shortcut and receive the icon of that program.

Now you are ready to create files, folders, shortcuts, open and close files. The only program you've met until now was NotePad.
In Windows Application will be talking about other applications that come shipped with Windows, you will learn how to benefit from each.

Installing a new software on your computer seems now very easy,
use Add/Remove from Control Panel. The installation procedure is common to all programs: all you need to do is press
Next, then Finish
to complete installation.
Soon you will become an expert user and run a custom installation to have more control over what's installed on your machine.
