desktop shortcuts
Trying to navigate to a system tool that you use on a regular basis gets irritating after a while. Instead you can either create a shortcut on your desktop that run that tool directly or if you are comfortable with the CLI then enter command into the run box.
To use a shortcut on the GUI version;
- create a valid shortcut
rt click desktop -> new -> shortcut. - change the "target"
rt click desktop -> properties -> put the text below in the "target" field
To use the CLI; type the text directly into a run box (start -> run).
