Hi all,
A few weeks ago, someone said s/he had trouble putting icons on the
Windows 10 desktop. My instructions are below though I'm sure the person
has worked things out by now.
* Option 1. Press the Start key, arrow up once to All Apps, press enter,
and arrow down to the item you want. Most likely, it'll be a folder,
like Office. If it is, press enter to open it, and arrow down to the
program. In the case of Office apps (e.g., Word, Outlook), I think you
need to press enter on Tools to find it. The point is you want to get to
the app you want. don't press enter on it: just arrow to it.
Option 2. Press the Start key, and type the name of the app you want
(e.g., word). If necessary, arrow down to the correct item. Again, don't
press enter on it: just arrow to it. this option worked for me today,
but I know it didn't work for me in the past. I'm not sure if I'm
remembering that it didn't work in windows 8.
* Whichever option you used, press the right Windows key, and press
enter on Open Location.
* Press the right Windows key again, down-arrow to the Send To submenu,
open it by pressing right-arrow once, then down-arrow and press enter on
Desktop.
As an FYI, this works only for desktop apps, not for modern/metro apps.
