One way to create a Windows 7 desktop shortcut is to right click the object you want to create a shortcut for.
Object can be a folder, document, picture, video, basically or any other type of a file. I chose a folder named Dreevoo.
Right click the folder ...

| |
2.
|
|
|
... click Send to and choose Desktop (create shortcut).

And here's a shortcut to a dreevoo folder right there.
