Add Home Directory to Desktop in Vista

If you want quick access to your home directory in Windows Vista, it's pretty easy to add to your desktop. Just go to the Start menu, and right click on your user name. In the menu that appears, select the Show on Desktop option and it will put a link to your home directory on the desktop. If you change your mind, you can right click on the home directory icon on your desktop and select Delete from the menu that appears and the icon will be removed.
