How to Get Desktop Icons Up Quickly in Windows 10

Yep, Windows 10 takes some getting used to and while Microsoft is big on having you use their Tile View, I’m still looking to my Desktop to provide the best shortcuts. Creating shortcuts manually isn’t hard in Windows 10, but the fastest way I’ve found to dump a few of the main icons is right here:

1. Right-click an empty space on your Desktop and click Personalize
   
2. Click Themes > Desktop icon settings
   
3. Click in the Check Boxes for the shortcut icons you would like on your Desktop and click OK

So hey, that’s a start, right?
