desktop icons

[Bill]

i had to reinstall pc to shop bought condition after a lot of errors which
are now gone but when i try a install a shortcut to desktop and try to open
it i always get a box opening saying application not found, tried the online
help and in that it told me what to do, but to no avail. Also when i go to
online help i can only see boxes with a red cross in it.
Any help would be grateful as i cant find answers anywher
