I have Skype app operational and can enter it through the Windows 8 Start tile (latest Mozilla Firefox)
I would like to have a shortcut on my desktop/taskbar so I can switch easily.
I can't any way to set up a shortcut there, using the old looking/right-clicking options/control panel/start menu searches.
No success, whether in destop/taskbar or Skype page (which doesn't have any help section).
I see no sign of separate Skype program in programs and features from old control panel either.
How can I get a shortcut for Skype on my desktop/taskbar?
Or is that even an option in the wonderful Windows 8 world?
