Hi DonaldOverman1,

You can do that by clicking on Windows Start, and then left click on Excel and drag it over to the desktop.

Hi Donald

This does seem to be an oversight in the recent Office Installation . . .

Start Excel

Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc)

On the processes Tab, find Excel

Right click Excel and choose 'Open File Location'

In the resulting File Explorer window, right click Excel

Choose 'Send to' - Desktop (Create Shortcut)

That's It!
