If the program that you installed did not create a shortcut icon on the desktop after installing it but it shows under the All Programs menu of the START button, you can manually create a desktop shortcut icon for that program. Likewise, you can create desktop shortcut icons for the items that are showing under the All Programs menu. This is very useful especially if you have a specific program that you usually launch so that you find it easily on your desktop view among with the other icons there.
In this example, we will create a desktop shortcut icon for the Adobe Reader 9 software from the All Programs menu of Windows XP.
1. Click the START button, choose ALL PROGRAMS, right-click on the ADOBE READER 9, choose SEND TO, then click the DESKTOP (CREATE SHORTCUT) option.
An Adobe Reader 9 icon is now on the desktop view.
