To create a desktop icon for any application or file, first locate the desired file or program in File Explorer. Right-click on it, select "Send to," and then choose "Desktop (create shortcut)." This will place a shortcut icon on your desktop, allowing you to easily access the file or application. You can also drag and drop the file or program directly to the desktop while holding down the Alt key to create a shortcut.
