Open your Prgram files dirctory and open the folder for your scanner. Click the "View" on top bar and set it to "details". Listed there somewhere will be at least one, probably more, .exe files. Find the .exe file that opens the scanner ( look for SCAN in the name) open it to make sure it is the right file, then right click it and choose "create a shortcut" which will create a shortcut on your desktop. It is also possible in some configurations to get a "send to" option when you right click, where you can choose to put a shortcut somewhere else, possibly Quick Launch. There may also be a choice in the context menu to "add to startup" which will put a shortcut in your startup list.

I am not sure what exact shortcut you are referring to, but if it is involving your printer you can either copy the shortcut from the list of programs. Click on start>programs>then the HP software for the scanner and right click on the link you want and click create shortcut then move it to the desktop. You can also reinstall the software if you would like as well. Just select your operating system after going to the link:

Go to the control panel go to your printer or scanner options for which you want to create a shortcut right click on that you will get an option create shortcut click on that, that will create a shortcut for you on the desktop.

Try deleting that shortcut and get a new one from the Programs folder. Find the HP scanner folder and get a new shortcut copy to your desktop.

Goto C:\Program Files\Epson

Look for the Epson .exe file, right mouse click on it and select Send To> Desktop (create shortcut).

Hope this help.

Instead of using the HP solutions icon, go to All programs, and find your scanner entry and create a shortcut on your desktop to the scanner. Now, whenever you want to use the scanner, simply click on the desktop shortcut. This would be the simplest solution..
