Right-click on the desktop and choose new, then shortcut. Browse to the location of the exex file of the program you want a shortcut to. 2. From My Computer or Explorer, browse to the exe file, and right-drag it to the deskop. When you let go, choose Create Shortcut here. and get it into my quicklaunch toolbar? Click to expand... Just drag the shortcut to the Quick Launch bar.
