    simply goto:
    C:\Windows\System32\Magnify.exe
    Right click, select Create Shortcut
    it will be created next to the .exe file.. Copy/Past or Drag it to your desktop.

    that's it!

    Luck be with you :)

    Yeah, if the option is there.. I see some win7's that don't have that option so, if it don't then drag and drop. :rolleyes:
