Place the calculator on the desk.

Hello,

It doesn't seem possible to create a shortcut from the desktop to the calculator.
However, direct access to the calculator is convenient.
Here is an unprecedented and ultra-simple solution: the calculator can be made available on the desktop by selecting it from the accessories menu and dragging it to the desktop.
Best regards!
Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 6.0

    Good evening,

    To create a shortcut for the calculator on the desktop:

    - Right-click on the desktop and choose New > Shortcut from the dropdown menu.
    - The Create Shortcut window will open.
    - In the Type the location of the item box, enter %SystemRoot%\system32\calc.exe
    - Click Next then Finish.

    Now the way you used is just as valid.

    Have a good evening.

    Good evening,
    Your technique is more than mediocre; by doing it this way, the calculator permanently disappears from the Accessories menu, which is its original location.
    It’s better to create a shortcut (right-click on Calculator in Accessories) and drag that shortcut to the desktop.

    Ah, the clock has killed me; my answer was directed at GUY NICOLAS's post and not at G...'s response.

    ... and this whole exchange was about the Windows forum; not Office!
