# Group Policy, Shortcut Extensions, and Internet Explorer 11
|
||
Group Policy includes the Shortcuts preference extension, which lets you configure shortcuts to:
|
||
|
||
- **File system objects.** Traditional shortcuts that link to apps, files, folders, drives, shares, or computers. For example, linking a shortcut to an app from the **Start** screen.
|
||
|
||
- **URLs.** Shortcuts to webpages or FTP sites. For example, a link to your intranet site from your employee's **Favorites** folder.
|
||
|
||
- **Shell objects.** Shortcuts to objects that appear in the shell namespace, such as printers, desktop items, Control Panel items, the Recycle Bin, and so on.
|
||
|
||
## How do I configure shortcuts?
|
||
You can create and configure shortcuts for any domain-based Group Policy Object (GPO) in the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC).
|
||
|
||
**To create a new Shortcut preference item**
|
||
|
||
1. Open GPMC, right-click the Group Policy object that needs the new shortcut extension, and click **Edit**.
|
||
|
||
2. From **Computer Configuration** or **User Configuration**, go to **Preferences**, and then go to **Windows Settings**.
|
||
|
||
3. Right-click **Shortcuts**, click **New**, and then choose **Shortcut**.
|
||
|
||
4. Choose what the shortcut should do, including **Create**, **Delete**, **Replace**, or **Update**.
|
||
|
||
5. Type the required shortcut settings and your comments into the **Description** box, and click **OK**.
|
||
