XYplorer Beta Club
Neither of the two methods I use to create a shortcut on the desktop work from XYplorer:
1. Right drag from the window to the desktop and select "create shortcut here" - that menu item does not exist when draging from XYplorer.
2. Using the clipboard: "copy" the file in XYplorer either using Ctrl-C or right clicking. Then right click on the desktop and select "Paste Shortcut" - that menu item does exist but is greyed out.

Please include the following information:
1) Your XYplorer Version (e.g., v28.00.0801)
2) Your Windows Version (e.g., Win 11)
3) Your Screen Scaling Percentage (e.g., 125%).
We strongly recommend adding your Windows Version and Screen Scaling Percentage to the Location field in your Profile or to your Signature. That way, you only have to type them once, and we won't have to search for that vital information.

Yep (same in XP, by the way).
1. Never was able to solve this. Big mystery.
2. Good point. Currently not able to solve this. But will try again.
PS: I have an item in my SendTo submenu that will create a shortcut to the selected item on the Desktop! Don't you?
