If one thing I have to appreciate about Windows is its ability to create shortcuts for applications. Users who have recently moved from Windows computer to a Mac, you must have faced this issue of placing icon shortcuts of your favorite apps.

But the good news is that Mac users can also place shortcut icons of apps they use regularly. Want to know how? Read on…

How to place app shortcut icons on your Mac desktop

First off, launch a Finder window on your Mac.

Click on Applications from the left side navigation.

Drag the app and drop it on the desktop.

Hurray!! The shortcut icon is now created. You can follow this action to create shortcut icons for other apps as well.
