If you can’t create shortcuts on your Desktop, you might have a corrupted registry.

  1. Start Regedit
  2. Go to HKEYCLASSESROOT.lnk\ShellNew\Command
  3. Make sure it has a value of:
  4. RunDLL32 AppWiz.Cpl,NewLinkHere %1 if you don’t have IE 4
  5. or RunDLL32 AppWiz.Cpl,NewLinkHere %2 if you have IE 4.0 or IE 4.01
