Have you tried going to the directory itself (C:\Windows\System32\servives.msc), right clicking on it, then choose "Send To" and then send it to the desktop as a shortcut? The other options are, you can pin it to the 'Start Menu' or the 'Taskbar'. I keep all of my shortcuts for things I use in a folder on my desktop, created a new toolbar for it, and that way I can just click on that toolbar item and all of the shortcuts come up as a list like in the start menu. This helps keep my desktop from being cluttered.

  It's not Brad, it's me who tries to drag the Services iconto the Win7
desktop and fails.

  I suspect the key phrase here is "change to icon view".  I've had Win7
for almost two weeks, and I don't think I know how to do that yet.
