Hi Alexander.
There is no technical reason why you couldn't create a shortcut to any
program and so this should be no exception.
I've got a bit lost with the various steps you've tried below so maybe you
could just confirm whether there is already a shortcut in the programs menu
first of all.
So, if you use windows explorer and go to documents and settings, userid,
start menu, programs; do you see an entry in the programs folder for the
internet download manager. You may nee to look at the properties to check
that it is definitely a shortcut and not an application .exe or folder.
If you have a shortcut in the programs folder, then try again to copy it and
then hit backspace until you land on the desktop where you can paste the
shortcut.
The programs folder referred to above is not the programme files folder so
please don't be confused by this. It is the programs folder that is found
in documents and settings, userid, start menu. It's basically what provides
the programs menu when you hit control + escape but easier to copy and edit
when you access it through windows explorer.
If you don't have the shortcut in the programs menu then you will need to
create a shortcut. I'll leave that for a separate e-mail if you confirm
that you don't currently have a shortcut in the programs menu.
Regards.

Hi Again Kevin,
I tried what you suggested, and there was only one .exe file
that seemed to be the correct one to copy the shortcut of,
but even that didn't work, as the process worked
floorlessly, but when I pressed enter on the copied shortcut
it didn't perform the action I thought it would.
The file I copied the shortcut of was IDMan.exe I also tried
making a shortcut to Internet Download Manager itself, but
when I enter on this, I end up in the program within program
files rather than running the program. Where am I going
wrong, is it me, or is the program designed so that I can
not make the shortcut to the desktop?
