I have a file that I have saved in my download folder. I am wanting to create a desktop icon to access the file. It is a Word folder. Thanks

Right-click the file and use "Send to > Desktop" to create a shortcut.

Right click and select Create A Shortcut. It will be placed right there and you can move it to where you want. But sometimes a shortcut cannot be created in some folders, so the system will ask if you want to place it on the desktop. Again, from here you can put it where you want.
