An easy way to make shortcuts?

[Joel]

Can someone suggest an easy way to create a shortcut to a
document while I am working on that document? Maybe I
just created a document on my word processesor (MS Word)
and I know I will be working on it again in a week. I
want to put a shortcut to that document on my desktop.
The best way I know to create a shortcut is to navigate
thru explorer or do a search, locate the file, and rclick-
drag a shortcut. There must be an easier way that I can
use while I am working on the file. Can anyone help with
this?

Usually, if you right click a folder in Windows Explorer, the drop down menu
will have a send to - Create a shortcut (to Desktop).

After you save your document, go to
Start > Documents, right-click on the document and
select: Send To > Desktop (create shortcut).

Make a shortcut to the "My Recent Documents" folder you
see there.
When you want a shortcut to a document you've just saved -
1) Use the "My Recent Documents" shortcut.
2) Select any file name and type the first letter
of your newly saved document.
3) The list is alphabetic so your document is near by.

Right drag the document (or folder) to where you need it
When you release the mouse button a menu appears
