  1. How to pin a graphic on desktop?


    Consider that I can save a document to my desktop, and it appears as an icon that I then move around, placing it anywhere on the desktop. I want to do the same thing with a graphic, but see the graphic itself, not an icon for the graphic file. And I don't want the graphic to be any form of the desktop image; I want to place it on the desktop and be able to move it around and resize it much like placing, resizing, and moving an image in a Word doc. How to do that?

    :)

    pin Facebook and Tumblast app to desktop?

    I have downloaded the Facebook and Tumblast apps to my Windows 10 computer and when I right click on them in the list of apps, I can pin them to the start menu and the taskbar, but not the desktop. Is there any way to pin them to the desktop or create a
    shortcut? I **don't** want it create a shortcut that opens FB and Tumblr in my browser. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

    Thanks,

    KJ
