[Solved] Shortcut icon on desktop

[dog-gone]

How to create a shortcut to a specific folder from an icon visible on the desktop?
I find it tedious to have to go to open source, open, and then select specific folder.
Excel allows creation of shortcut on desktop.

Is there nothing available?

This is an operating system function. Right click on your desktop and choose / New / Shortcut and set up the parameters as you wish them.

That should work with any application, but it does clutter up your desk-top unless you create a new folder and keep them all in there.

Right-click the folder and select Sent to > Desktop (create shortcut). This has been in the right-click menu for files and folders since at least Windows 98.
