    Go to the Program Files folder containing Office (in my case Office 2010). Locate the applications for Word and Excel (example is Excel). R-click Send to Desktop shortcut

    I Unlock the Taskbar, Pin programs then drag them around to how I want them displayed. It has become a bit different in Win10 [maybe in Win8/8.1, can't remember] but perseverance works.
