Shortcut icons are the icons that you have on your desk top to open a program of some kind. They are identified by the little black arrow on each icon.
Shortcut icons have a little black arrow inside a box pointing towards the icon.

You may be referring to a path or shortcut icon on the desktop that points to a specific file or program.
In my perspective, I don't really think there is a difference. Icon is the little picture thingys you find out the desktop. When you click shortcut for something, it will appear the same as an icon on the desktop. So I don't really think there's a difference.
1. You can right click on an icon and then choose "create shortcut." 2. You can right click on an icon, choose "copy," then go to where you want the shortcut, right click, and choose "paste shortcut."

An icon is the picture that decorates a shortcut. The shortcut is a path to a file.
Nope. Deleting a shortcut is just that - deleting the shortcut. The program is not affected.

It's usually a shortcut to a program or file. Instead of hunting through folders for specific (frequently used) files or programs, you can place a shortcut icon on the desktop.
Find the file or program you want to make into an icon (or shortcut). Right click and select "Create Shortcut" (depending on your operating system, it might be "Create Shortcut to Desktop" or similar). If this does not work, simply drag the icon over to your background.
