Well when you firstly install or clean install windows 10,then you will find out that your desktop doesn't have important icons which are Control panel, This PC ,Recycle bin, Network etc. these are mostly common used folder in computer because your entire data , settings ,files , connectivity are contained in these folders .so it is important to access them as fast as possible that's the work that an shortcut does . everybody knows about how to enable these desktop shortcuts or desktop icons in windows xp ,windows vista or 7 but windows 10 is bitterly strange to earlier versions of windows. because it has some settings in place other than control panel like earlier versions of windows used to have. but not so difficult to access them because in windows 10 Microsoft introduced an folder or interface named as "Settings" where new user interface of system settings and properties are placed .but it is good because this new feature is user friendly.

STEP [1]->
First of all you have to go to your desktop screen. don't worry it will take only few seconds to enable the desktop shortcut ,just follow some steps. I hoping now you are on your desktop screen means where all other shortcuts are placed or the menu which you see firstly when your computer starts.

STEP [2] ->
Now press right click of mouse and click on 'Personalize' option given just below of all the options. this will open personalization settings of the PC or simply you can open up the 'settings' folder. screenshot of both the steps is given below .
or you can open up the same menu by other method, which is bit longer than the previous one but don't worry I will explain this too. for this go to 'START' means click on the 'start' button which is on the bottom left corner of your computer screen and then click on 'Settings' from the left side. This will open the settings .From the open windows click on the 'Personalization' option.This will open the personalization menu .this is the second method.I prefer you to use first method which is simple and easy.Screenshot of this method is given below.
STEP [4] ->
In step 3 you click on the desktop icon settings.This will open up the desktop icons settings.From there just "Tick the required shortcuts" which you want to display on the desktop screen.The shortcuts will be of control panel, This PC, Recycle Bin, Network and user directory. you just need to tick on the required shortcuts icons .After that click on the "Apply" option and then "OK" option and you are done. now go back to your desktop screen and you will find that shortcuts icons will be created. you can arrange them just by holding 'left click ' of mouse upon the shortcuts and moving the mouse.As long as you are holding the left click of mouse on the shortcut you can place the shortcut wherever you want. if you leave the left click of mouse your shortcut will be placed there.
