    short cut icons

    The short cut icons on my screen have somehow been duplicated into my task bar. How can I remove them?

    Dropped short cut

    Once again I find myself looking for a long used short cut. Apparently Windows 10 and Bing do not like Yahoo. I downloaded 10 and was comfortable navigating around. The next day, I logged on and Yahoo was among the missing. Easy to go to Windows Edge
    and then to Yahoo, but the program will not right click to a drop down and choices of creating a short cut on the desk top. I tried Mr. Smithers fix to get Google Earth back, but yahoo is not listed in the "Apps' section. Any suggestions. Thank you in advance.

    Files showing as Icons or short cuts

    display of FILE short-cut icons on desk top

    I keep short-cut icons on frequently accessed FILES in a certain order on my desktop home screen. Recently that order keeps dropping, and all files are scrunched along the left side of screen. How do I "set" those icon orders once I set them up?
