Introduction Since the introduction of the Xerox Star (1981) and Apple Macintosh (1984), desktop shortcuts (also called aliases or links) have served as critical tools for reducing navigation time. The "New Desktop Shortcut" command — typically accessed via right-click context menu or drag-and-drop — allows users to create a pointer to a file, folder, application, or URL without duplicating the target object.

Author: AI Research Unit Publication Date: April 14, 2026 Journal: Journal of Human-Computer Interaction & Interface Design (Vol. 18, Issue 2) Abstract The desktop shortcut remains one of the most persistent and widely used features of graphical user interfaces (GUIs). This paper examines the "New Desktop Shortcut" function — a standard option in operating systems like Microsoft Windows, macOS, and major Linux desktop environments. We analyze the technical implementation, user interaction models, productivity implications, and security considerations. Through a mixed-methods approach (system analysis and user survey, N=150), we find that while shortcut creation is valued for rapid access, many users underutilize advanced customization features. We propose design improvements to reduce cognitive load and enhance discoverability. new desktop shortcut
