Harry,

I've been putting folders on the desktop for multiple Windows versions for a long time.  Even better news for you - you can create shortcut keys to these folders.  Just shift F10 on a folder & select properties.  Usually you will already be in the shortcut tab; if not then cntl tab to get there.  Then tab to shortcut key & enter the key you want to use as your shortcut key.  Once you exit you can now use alt cntl shortcut key to open the folder.  

What I have been able to do in older Windows versions but not in Windows 10 is create a desktop icon for a flash drive.  You used to be able to shift F10 on the drive & get a create desktop shortcut option or a send to option with desktop shortcut in the submenu.  These options no longer exist for a flash drive unfortunately.  If anyone knows how to create a desktop shortcut for a flash drive, please post instructions.

Hi all,

For years, I have always been told that I should put folders on the C drive, itself.

However, with Windows 10, and thanks to CathyAnnes wonderful series about windows 10 and jaws, I have now learned, that yes, I can, put all my folders, on the desktop.

What a wonderful thing that is!!! Think of it folks, no more clicking computer, then finding a folder you need! You can put all your folders on your desktop. That saves 2 steps in finding a folder!

I'd like to hear what folks think of that idea.

Harry
