My sister who is many miles away has a problem. Her words:

Every time I save something in Excel, it puts a shortcut on my desktop. How
do I delete the shortcuts? If I say "Delete" it asks me if I want to send TG
Version xls (or whatever) to the Recycle Bin. I say "no!"

Why would Save produce a desktop shortcut?

TIA Tom

The closest explanation that I've ever seen is one by Jim Rech. He guessed that
your Recently used folder was incorrectly pointing at the desktop.

(That number will vary depending on the version of excel you're using.)
