Nothing to do with Office or Docs or anything in that article. I always use Shawn's method: Create Control Panel All Tasks Shortcut in Windows 10 Windows 10 Customization Tutorials

The tutorial says I can create a shortcut in QuickLaunch, but so far, I've been unsuccessful.

I created the God Mode from your post, not the tutorial.

Hello @Wynona, :)

You should be able to create the Control Panel All Tasks shortcut first, then be able to move it to Quick Launch.

Where is it going wrong for you?

When I try to drag if from the Desktop to my Quick Launch Bar, it tells me it can't create a shortcut there and asks if I want to create the shortcut on the Desktop. I've right clicked and then Send To, but QL isn't listed.

I usually go All Settings/Devices/Devices and Printers

- the direction to Control Panel appears in top address line..

In that case, you should be able to move the shortcut directly into the Quick Launch folder below instead then.

%UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

I have this build:



I see i can register now to the Insider Program! Is it cool if i registered ?

Yes, very cool! Suggest you go with the stable Insider version 16288 at present. You have one month with it until the Fall Creators update, but it will give you a chance to experience Insider and get used to. Good Luck!

P.S. - Make a full system image backup first. If this is the only machine you have, it is not recommended to throw it on as your main OS. Best to do in a VM or as a dual boot. Think wisely.

So far, it refuses to create a shortcut.

Should I delete the one on the desktop and start over?

Can't hurt, Wynona. The post I made was really for reference only to the way it was done in the past. I use the tut method.

Yeah, it would be best to start fresh and create a new shortcut on the desktop, and see if you're able to move it into the folder.
