You're not giving us much to go on, are you! Which version of Excel, which
OS?
If you right-click on the desktop in XP, for example, and choose New
Shortcut, you can select excel.exe (in %program files%\Microsoft
Office\Office, for example) and place a shortcut to the program file on your
desktop. Or if it's a specific workbook you want to have a shortcut to, same
procedure. It should make no difference what customization changes you may
have made,like adjusting toolbars.

I want to save an icon to my desktop for Excel, but first I want to remove
one of the toolbars checked in the program. I can find no way to send the
icon to the desktop after I do that. Is there any way around this
problem?

Thanks in advance to whomever can can answer my question,
Candy
