Hi, NIK.
When you right-click, WHERE ARE YOU?
If you right-click on the Desktop, you should get the pop-up context menu
with several choices, including New, with an arrow that pops up a sub-menu
allowing you to choose between New Folder and New Shortcut.
It that doesn't work, please post back and tell us more specifically HOW you
are trying to create the shortcut. There are many ways to create a
shortcut, but they depend on where you are when you start the process and we
don't want to have to write a book covering all the possibilities. You
could just go to the Help file to see all that.
