Best Answer

Shortcuts (link files) are small files that contain a command line or URL (universal resource locator). They are provided as a convenience; the start menu alone would not be possible without shortcuts. Neither would your Recent Items or Favourites menus. Shortcuts have the file extension LNK (.lnk) and URL (.url).

The shortcut menu exists to allow you to create your own shortcuts, however dragging an icon with the right-mouse button also allows you to create a shortcut wherever you drop the icon. The icon may be an executable or another shortcut. You can also drag web addresses from the icon on the far left of the address bar to create URL shortcuts.

What are the default shortcut keys in Photoshop?

Most shortcut keys are labled in the menus and the toolbar. Find whatever menu item you need and the shortcut is listed to its right. The tool shortcuts are listed in parenthesis following it. Example: if you want to save using a shortcut, look in the File menu and find Save, and the shortcut is to the left (Ctrl + S). To select the Marquis tool put the cursor over the Marquis tool and a tool tip pop-up will show the shortcut (M).
