| Create a 'Run' Desktop Shortcut SUMMARY: Double-click an icon on your Windows XP Desktop to run software, bypassing the Start menu.
Do you often need to start software not listed in your Windows XP Start Menu? Is clicking "Start" and selecting "Run", or pressing the "Windows" keyboard button then "R" too much? If so, create a shortcut on your desktop that you can double-click to run software on your system.
1. Click the "Start" menu.
2. Click on the "Run" link, keeping the left mouse button held down.
3. Drag and release the link on an empty area of your desktop.
4. If desired, right-click the link, choose "Rename", and name it whatever you wish.
