您想更快地打开应用程序、文件、文件夹和网站吗?尝试创建桌面快捷方式。本教程展示了如何在 Windows 10 或 11 PC 上执行此操作。
尽管Microsoft在(Microsoft)Windows 10和 11中不太重视桌面快捷方式,但您仍然可以使用它们更快地访问您喜爱的应用程序、文件和网站。有几种方法可以向Windows桌面添加快捷方式,我们将一一介绍。
(Add App Shortcuts)通过开始菜单(Start Menu)添加应用程序快捷方式
如果您想为Microsoft Store应用程序(照片、日历(Calendar)等)或 PC 上的传统程序创建桌面快捷方式,最快的方法是将其从“开始(Start)”菜单的应用程序列表拖到桌面。
- 打开开始菜单( Start menu)并选择所有应用程序( All apps)以显示您的应用程序列表。
- 找到您要添加的程序。
- 将(Drag)程序拖到桌面并在光标变为Link时释放它。
在Windows 10中,您还可以将固定的“开始(Start)”菜单应用程序作为快捷方式拖到桌面。
(Add App Shortcuts)通过应用程序文件夹(Applications Folder)添加应用程序快捷方式
Windows 10和 11 中的Applications文件夹是一个特殊目录,其中包含计算机上所有Microsoft Store和非 Store 应用程序的完整列表。它提供了另一种方法来为您的计算机上的程序创建桌面快捷方式,并列出您通常不会在“开始(Start)”菜单中找到的项目,例如“控制面板(Control Panel)” 。
- 按Windows 键(Windows Key)+ R打开运行(Run)框。然后,键入shell:AppsFolder,然后按Enter。应用程序(Applications)文件夹将显示在文件资源管理器(File Explorer)窗口中。
- 找到要添加到桌面的程序。接下来,右键单击并选择创建快捷方式( Create shortcut)。
- 在“ Windows无法在此处创建快捷方式”弹出窗口中选择“是”。(Yes)快捷方式应立即出现在您的桌面上。
或者,您可以通过命令提示符(Command Prompt)控制台访问Windows中的(Windows)Applications文件夹。在开始菜单中键入cmd ,选择(cmd)打开(Open)并运行资源管理器 shell:AppsFolder(explorer shell:AppsFolder)命令。
添加传统系统快捷方式
默认情况下,Windows 10 和 11 仅在桌面上显示回收站(Recycle Bin)。但是您可以将任何您想要的东西放在那里,包括传统的系统快捷方式,例如这台电脑、您的用户帐户文件夹、网络设备文件夹,以及通过桌面图标设置(Desktop Icon Settings)对话框的控制面板。(Control Panel)
- 右键单击开始( Start )按钮并选择设置(Settings)。
- 选择个性化(Personalization )类别。
- 选择主题(Themes)。
- 向下滚动并选择桌面图标设置(Desktop icon settings)。
- 选中所需快捷方式旁边的框 -计算机(Computer)、用户文件( User’s Files)、网络(Network)、回收站(Recycle Bin)和控制面板( Control Panel)。
- 选择应用(Apply)>确定(OK)。
(Create Program)通过文件资源管理器(File Explorer)创建程序、文件(File)和文件夹快捷方式(Folder Shortcuts)
创建应用程序快捷方式的另一种方法涉及文件资源管理器(File Explorer)。您还可以使用它来创建文件和文件夹的快捷方式。
创建程序快捷方式
- 打开文件资源管理器(Open File Explorer)并访问程序的安装目录。传统桌面应用程序(例如Microsoft Office)的默认安装位置是系统分区内的Program Files和Program Files (x86) 。要找到Microsoft Store应用,您必须访问隐藏的 WindowsApps 文件夹(visit the hidden WindowsApps folder)。
- 找到主要的可执行文件 ( EXE )。它是一个应用程序类型的文件(您可以通过将View设置为Details来识别它),通常具有程序的名称和图标。如果您想确定,请双击该文件。如果程序启动,您已识别出正确的文件。
提示:(Tip: )如果您无法找到非商店应用程序的可执行文件,请在开始菜单( Start menu)上右键单击该程序,然后选择更多(More )>打开文件位置(Open file location)。这应该会将您带到“开始(Start)”菜单的快捷方式文件夹。再次(Again),右键单击程序并选择打开文件位置( Open file location )以调出应用程序目录,并突出显示主EXE文件。
- 将(Drag)可执行文件拖到桌面上,当光标变为Create link in Desktop时释放它。
或者,右键单击应用程序文件并在上下文菜单中选择发送到(Send to)>桌面(快捷方式) 。(Desktop (shortcut))您也可以单击并按住鼠标右键(不是左键单击),将项目拖到桌面,然后选择在此处创建快捷方式(Create shortcuts here)。
创建文件和文件夹快捷方式
- 打开文件资源管理器(Open File Explorer)并找到文件(例如Excel或Word)或文件夹。
- 按住Alt键并将项目拖到桌面上。
- 当光标变为在 Desktop 中创建链接(Create link in Desktop)时释放。
与应用程序快捷方式一样,您也可以右键单击文件或文件夹并选择发送到(Send to)>桌面(快捷方式)(Desktop (shortcut)),或者只需单击鼠标右键将其拖到桌面并选择在此处创建快捷方式(Create shortcuts here )选项。
拖放(Drag)URL(Drop URLs)以创建网站快捷(Create Website Shortcuts)方式
如果要创建网站或网页的快捷方式,可以通过将URL拖放到桌面来快速完成。
- 在浏览器选项卡中加载(Load)网站或网页。
- 单击(Click)地址栏中的任意位置以突出显示URL。
- (Drag)将URL拖放到桌面上。
上述步骤适用于Google Chrome、Microsoft Edge、Mozilla Firefox以及您在(Mozilla Firefox)Windows 10和 11中使用的任何其他网络浏览器。
创建渐进式 Web 应用程序快捷方式(Create Progressive Web App Shortcuts)
如果您使用基于 Chromium 的浏览器,例如Chrome或Edge,您可以为出现在桌面上的网站创建渐进式 Web 应用程序 (PWA) 。(create progressive web apps (PWAs) for websites)PWA(PWAs)具有网站图标,使其更容易与典型的网站快捷方式区分开来。
在Chrome(Chrome)中将网站安装为应用程序:

How to Add Shortcuts to the Windows Desktop
Do you want to open apps, files, folders, and websites faster? Try creating desktop shortcuts. This tutorial shows how to do that on your Windows 10 or 11 PC.
Although Microsoft places less emphasis on desktop shortcuts in Windows 10 and 11, you can still use them to get to your favorite apps, files, and websites faster. There are several methods for adding shortcuts to the Windows desktop, and we’ll look at all of them.
Add App Shortcuts via the Start Menu
If you want to create a desktop shortcut to a Microsoft Store app—Photos, Calendar, etc.—or a traditional program on your PC, the quickest way is to drag it from the Start menu’s app list to the desktop.
- Open the Start menu and select All apps to reveal your app list.
- Locate the program you want to add.
- Drag the program to the desktop and release it when the cursor changes to Link.
In Windows 10, you can also drag out pinned Start menu apps into the desktop as shortcuts.
Add App Shortcuts via the Applications Folder
The Applications folder in Windows 10 and 11 is a special directory that features a comprehensive list of all Microsoft Store and non-Store apps on your computer. It offers an alternative way to create desktop shortcuts to the programs on your computer and lists items you typically won’t find listed within the Start menu, such as the Control Panel.
- Press the Windows Key + R to open the Run box. Then, type shell:AppsFolder,and press Enter. The Applications folder will show up in a File Explorer window.
- Locate the program you want to add to the desktop. Next, right-click and select Create shortcut.
- Select Yes on the “Windows can’t create a shortcut here” pop-up. The shortcut should immediately appear on your desktop.
Alternatively, you can access the Applications folder in Windows via the Command Prompt console. Type cmd into the Start menu, select Open and run the explorer shell:AppsFolder command.
Add Traditional System Shortcuts
Windows 10 and 11 display only the Recycle Bin on the desktop by default. But you can put anything you want there, including traditional system shortcuts like This PC, your user account folder, the network devices folder, and Control Panel via the Desktop Icon Settings dialog.
- Right-click the Start button and select Settings.
- Select the Personalization category.
- Select Themes.
- Scroll down and select Desktop icon settings.
- Check the boxes next to the shortcuts you want—Computer, User’s Files, Network, Recycle Bin, and Control Panel.
- Select Apply > OK.
Create Program, File, and Folder Shortcuts via File Explorer
Another way to create application shortcuts involves File Explorer. You can also use it to create shortcuts to files and folders.
Create Program Shortcuts
- Open File Explorer and visit the program’s installation directory. The default installation locations for traditional desktop applications (e.g., Microsoft Office) are Program Files and Program Files (x86) within the system partition. To locate a Microsoft Store app, you must visit the hidden WindowsApps folder.
- Locate the primary executable (EXE). It’s an application-type file (you can identify it by setting View to Details), typically featuring the name and icon of the program. If you want to be sure, double-click the file. If the program launches, you’ve identified the correct file.
Tip: If you have trouble locating the executable of a non-Store app, right-click the program on the Start menu and select More > Open file location. That should take you to the shortcuts folder for the Start menu. Again, right-click the program and select Open file location to bring up the application directory with the main EXE file highlighted.
- Drag the executable file onto the desktop and release it when the cursor changes to Create link in Desktop.
Or, right-click the application file and select Send to > Desktop (shortcut) on the contextual menu. You can also click and hold the right mouse button (not the left click), drag the item into the desktop, and select Create shortcuts here.
Create File and Folder Shortcuts
- Open File Explorer and locate the file (e.g., Excel or Word) or folder.
- Hold down the Alt key and drag the item out to the desktop.
- Release when the cursor changes to Create link in Desktop.
Like with application shortcuts, you can also right-click the file or folder and select Send to > Desktop (shortcut) or simply drag it to the desktop with a right-click and choose the Create shortcuts here option.
Drag and Drop URLs to Create Website Shortcuts
If you want to create a shortcut to a website or webpage, you can do that quickly by dragging and dropping the URL to the desktop.
- Load the website or webpage in a browser tab.
- Click anywhere within the address bar to highlight the URL.
- Drag and drop the URL onto the desktop.
The steps above work on Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, and any other web browser you use in Windows 10 and 11.
Create Progressive Web App Shortcuts
If you use a Chromium-based browser such as Chrome or Edge, you can create progressive web apps (PWAs) for websites that appear on the desktop. PWAs feature website favicons, making them easier to distinguish from typical website shortcuts.
To install a site as an app in Chrome:
- Visit the homepage of a website.
- Open the Chrome menu and select More tools > Create shortcut.
- Check the box next to Open as window and select Create.
If you use Edge, just open the Edge menu and select Apps > Install this site as an app.
Use the New Shortcut Wizard
The Create Shortcut wizard is a slow but reliable tool for creating desktop shortcuts for apps. You can also add shortcuts to programs, files, folders, and websites.
- Right-click a vacant area within the desktop and select New > Shortcut.
- Enter the path of a program executable, file, or folder, or add it via the Browse button. If you want to create a shortcut to a website, paste the URL instead.
- Select Next.
- Rename or assign a new name for the shortcut.
- Select Finish.
