How do I make my own little desktop icons for things if I wanted?
Right-click on the thing you want shortcutted on the desktop. Then go to Send To >> Desktop (Create Shortcut). That's all there is to it.
Last night before I went to bed, I started a batch process to resize and move hard drive partitions around. I didn't realize how long it would take, and was still running when I left for work. That's why I wasn't around this morning.
