Hi all,

I'm trying to create a desktop icon. From what I understand, the way to do so is to right click on a blank part of the desktop; However, the problem I'm experiencing is that focus always seems to land on an icon; therefore, I wind up with the context menu for that particular icon as opposed to the general menu that would allow me to create a new item. Is there currently a workaround to this issue?

I can't reproduce that problem here, but you can always press Ctrl +F10 to bring up the desktop context menu when a desktop icon has focus. (As opposed to Shift+F10, which brings up the icon's context menu.)

Cheeri,
Calum.
