Cannot Create NAS Shortcut Icons on Desktop
I have a self-made PC with i7-7700K. It had been non-W11-upgradable since its release (Refer to my post→detail). Now it is fully operational in W11. On the desktop, I've got several shortcut icons ...
regardless of you being outside of Microsoft's requirements, the correct way to make a shortcut is as follows. Go to the folder you want to have a shortcut for, and right-click on that folder via windows explorer. Select the "Show more options" on the bottom of that context menu to get to the second context menu. Now select "copy" command. now go to your desktop, right-click and select "Copy shortcut" your shortcut has now been placed on your desktop. With any windows prior to Windows 11 wherever you place your mouse cursor is where the shortcut would be created. However with Windows 11, it places it wherever the next icon space is available next, so you may have to look for it as it won't be below your mouse cursor.
Thank you, Rick. As I posted back to my original post on 07/07, I've found the way to create a shortcut of the NAS’s. It's as you are suggesting here.
I'd like to take this opportunity to report the current status of my ‘Unapproved i7700 W11’ PC. I’ve finished the system customization to my taste, and am enjoying using the PC more than ever. It is at version 2H22, OS build 22621.232. I’m an MS insider program ‘entry level’ member.
