Trick to put commonly used folders and functions on the Desktop

The default desktop in Windows 8 is pretty bare. If you would like ready access on the desktop to some commonly used features, here is how:

•     Right-click an empty spot on the Desktop
•     Select “Personalize”
•     On the upper left of the dialog box, click “Change desktop icons”.
•     In the dialog that opens (shown below) put a check by the icons you want on the desktop. Control Panel is one I like to have
•     Click “OK” and close the Personalization window
