1.) Solution 1: Create desktop shortcuts for all users for all at once!

Please open shell:Desktop and the shell:common desktop folder in Windows Explorer!

The  shell:desktop is your own and the shell:common desktop is everyone's (shared desktop folder) Now simply copy the relevant program shortcut. Here in Quad Explorer, because it's easier, but MS Explorer also works with Windows + R and the shell:commands mentioned. Simply open two MS Windows file explorers.

3.) What are the advantages of the two desktop shortcut solutions?

The first solution is of course associated with less work and the second is more secure, for example if the son, daughter or wife deletes it on the desktop, it disappears on all other desktops, which is of course annoying. In this case, however, you can get ahead with the Windows access rights.

Desktop shortcuts provide quick and easy access to files, folders, programs and websites. You can simply double-click the icon on the desktop to open the linked resource. You can organize your desktop the way you want by creating and grouping shortcuts. This makes working with important files and applications easier because you can find them instantly. Desktop shortcuts can also be customized on your Windows. You can change the icons, give them different names, and even add keyboard shortcuts to make access even easier.

By creating shortcuts for frequently used programs or tasks, you can streamline your workflow and save a lot of time. You don't have to search through File Explorer or find a program from the Start menu every time. The desktop shortcuts are easily visible to all users and typically do not require in-depth computer knowledge to use.
