<p>One of our clients asked how to add shortcut icons on Windows 10 desktop.</p>
<p>Icons like &#8220;<strong>This Computer</strong>&#8220;, &#8220;<strong>Control Panel</strong>&#8220;,&#8221;<strong>Network</strong>&#8220;, &#8220;<strong>Internet</strong>&#8221; etc..</p>
<p>The easiest way is to open the Windows Explorer and with the use of a right click drag the desired icon to your desktop.</p>

<p>Another way to achieve this is to do the following:</p>
<p>Right click on the desktop and click &#8220;<strong>Personalize</strong>&#8221;<br />
In the left pane select &#8220;<strong>Themes</strong>&#8221;<br />
From &#8220;<strong>Related Settings</strong>&#8221; choose &#8220;<strong>Desktop Icon settings</strong>&#8221;<br />
Select the icons you want on your desktop.</p>
