I want to find an executable file in Windows (for a function within Windows)
so I can make a shortcut instead of having to go to the start button all the
time. Is there a way to find this out?

Run your program.

Download and run Process Explorer

Double click on your process (running program) to read it's image,
copy and paste the command line to your short cut.

Quite possibly yes. Right-click on the executable and drag it to the
Desktop. Release the right mouse button and then left-click on "Create
Shortcut". Since you didn't tell us what "function within Windows" you
want to create a shortcut for, you can't get a more specific answer.
Tell us what you are trying to do and someone will tell you how to do
it.
