Shortcuts are icons that provide quick access to frequently used programs, files, fold-
ers, and drives. By double-clicking a shortcut, you can open its corresponding folder or
file without having to find it first. Shortcuts do not change the location of files; if you
delete a shortcut, the original file is not affected.
