Customizing the Desktop

You can create shortcuts to programs, files, folders, and Web sites on the desktop to provide fast access to frequently used information and programs. Windows 2000 provides shortcuts for My Documents, My Network Places, and Internet Explorer. Using local Group Policy settings, you can prevent access to the standard Windows 2000 shortcuts or hide all the icons on a desktop.

For more information about creating and using shortcuts, see Windows 2000 Professional Help.
