    Shortcut


    I am using Windows 7 professional on a Dell Optiplex 4 gm ram.

    recently I started to receive the following message, when tying to add a shortcut to the Desktop:

    WINDOWS COULD NOT CREATE THE SHORTCUT. CHECK TO SEE IF THE DISK IS FULL

    Does anyone know the answer

    thx
