Windows 10: Single shorcut show on windows desktop

I want to remove all the icons on my desktop and have only one shortcut there. and that shortcut is the link to my application URL in Google Chrome.

Instanced Desktop shorcuts

Two things, one is that the Desktop is actually a folder in C:\Users in File Explorer, can't have 2 or more identical files or shortcuts of the same name. The other is on the right-click of the Taskbar, click Toolbars and put a check on Desktop, will get an item on the Taskbar when clicked will give a list of the shortcuts on the Desktop but will usually be a random list unless maybe the Desktop is sorted by name.



Example:

 

Windows 10 Keyboard Shorcut to Calculator?

Option 1

• File Explorer, type this (shell shortcut) in location bar shell:AppsFolder, right-click Calculator, Create shorcut, Yes
  
• Right-click new Calculator shortcut on Desktop, Properties, there is our Shortcut key field/entry!
  

Option 2

• Go to %WinDir%\System32, right-click calc.exe, Create Shortcut, Yes. Then step 2 above
  

If I placed the shortcut in %WinDir%\System or Documents it seemingly wouldn't work!? It was flakey even moving back to Desktop, but after I set the shortcut to something else, hit Apply, then back to Ctrl+Shift+C it'd work

 

Instanced Desktop shorcuts

Right click on the file/folder/picture you want to create a shortcut for, and then Send to Desktop (create shortcut), or near the bottom of right clicking you can just "Create shortcut". You can do that as many times as you want. I just made two shortcuts from one file. Once the shortcuts are there you can move them to where you want them, and even rename them.
