what does it mean to create a shortcut mean

 

[Stemack]

Allows you to create a 'shortcut' in sense to a program so instead of having to find the program executable you can instead place a shortcut to that executable file in an easy to access and sensible place.

If you are suggesting when you right click on a Icon/program/file then select shortcut, then that will make a copy "shortcut" of that item on to your desktop.
