I recently had to rebuilt my computer from the original image. All went well except I that I can no longer create shortcuts on the desktop. When I try, I grab the icon, go atop the desktop and release the right mouse button. The options present themselved and I click "Create Shortcut", but the shortcut never appeasr. I can copy a file top the desktop but I cannot create a shortcut. All was well prior to the re-imaging.
