Right click on the relevent program in the start menu and there should be an option pin to taskbar or send to desktop, create shortcut

It's not a program, but rather a service that you access through your browser or email program.

If you read your mail through a browser, you'll need to create a shortcut . with the following line when asked for the location of the item exactly as shown.

"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" mail.yahoo.com

You'll be asked for your username & password initially. If you save the password, it should log you on each time right at your inbox.
