Hi Larry, May I suggest you go to your user folder, the icon for which is probably on your desktop. Once this folder opens, press the letter F to highlight the Favorites folder. Then, press the Applications key or Shift-F10, arrow down to Send to, press Enter to expand this, and arrow down to Desktop (Create shortcut), and press Enter again. Close your user folder since you're done using it. Now you'll have a Favorites icon on your desktop. Now, when you want to copy an icon to your desktop, click the Favorites icon on your desktop, which will open the Favorites folder, which contains all your link shortcuts. >From here, you should be able to use normal copy and paste keystrokes to copy any of your link shortcuts to your desktop. I figure you should be able to also use Send to as well to send a shortcut to your desktop, but, because of the problem you've had, perhaps not, but you could try it. Note that this method of locating link shortcuts is easier to work with since you can sort them as you do any files in a typical explorer view.
