    Well sometimes its useful to create shortcuts to things and wack them on your desktop.. for easy accsess now the are two ways of doing this :) basically:

    Method 1
    1.

    Click ->Start, point to Programs, and then right-click the program you want to create the shortcut to.

    2.Click Create Shortcut.

    3.The shortcut is now at the end of the Programs list. For example, if you created a shortcut to Microsoft Word, to find that program, click Start, and then point to Programs. You will find the shortcut, named "Microsoft Word (2)" (without the quotation marks), at the bottom of the Program list.

    4.Drag the shortcut to the Desktop.

    Method 2

    1.Right-click an open area on the desktop, point to New, and then click Shortcut.

    2.Click Browse.

    3.Locate the program or file to which you want to create a shortcut, click the program or file, click Open, and then click Next.

    4.Type a name for the shortcut. If a Finish button appears at the bottom of the dialog box, click it. If a Next button appears at the bottom of the dialog box, click it, click the icon you want to use for the shortcut, and then click Finish.

    You can also just right click the program, drag and drop then click on create short here. or if you're using Win 7 left or right click the program drag and drop to taskbar to pin it.
