I have windows 10. How do I make a short cut for Face Book to my desktop. T Y

Andre's method won't work if you're not using the Facebook app from the Microsoft Store. If you're accessing Facebook with your browser, you can right-click on the desktop and selectNew > Shortcut. You'll see this:

Typewww.facebook.com in the box and click on Next. You'll see this box, where you can give the shortcut a name:

TypeFacebook in the box and click on Finish. The new shortcut will be created on your desktop and will open using your default web browser.
