Sage Tip - Creating a Shortcut on the Desktop

First right click on a blank space on your desktop, a menu will appear, chose new, then chose shortcut.

The create shortcut wizard will appear.

In the text box type the path to your Sage software executable file, it is likely to be something like this:

C:\program files\Sage\Accounts\Sage.exe Alternatively you can use the browse function to locate the file

If you are using an old version of Sage 50 Accounts  the file may be titled SFW.exe, or if you are using Sage Instant Accounts the it will be called Instant.exe

Once you have located and selected the file click next, in the title box you can rename the file to whatever you would like it called on your desktop.

Then click Finish

The icon will now appear on your desktop, you can see it is a shortcut because it will have a small arrow on the bottom left of the icon.

You can now drag the icon to where you would like it.

This principle is the same for other software applications too.
