As I dual-boot Windows (Win11, in this case) and Linux, and (as far as I 
know) you can't get MSOffice for Linux, my preference is to use 
Libreoffice on both OSs.

I've downloaded Libreoffice and installed it onto my SSD .... but how do 
I get a Desktop icon to start it.

Not a 'Start' menu link but an actual icon on my Desktop?? Which of the 
'programs' in the Windows (C:)\Program Files\libreoffice\program 
directory do I want to connect to??

(Note in that folder, there is a file called 'desktophelper.txt' which 
contains "# File used for desktop link" ... and that's it. Real Helpful. 
;-) )

TIA
