What Is a Drupal Default Shortcut?
The default Drupal shortcut could either refer to the default Drupal shortcut bar, or the default Drupal shortcut icon. While these items are radically different, both are simple to customize through the Drupal administration menu. The shortcut bar contains links to commonly used admin pages, and the shortcut icon displays in your browser.

The Drupal Shortcut Bar
-
The Drupal shortcut bar is the submenu that appears beneath the administrative overlay when you access your site while signed in. The default Drupal shortcut bar contains two links: add content and find content.
Editing Buttons on the Drupal Shortcut Bar
-
To add or remove buttons on the Drupal shortcut bar, sign in to your site and click on "Edit Shortcuts" on the right side of the menu bar. To delete either of the default shortcut buttons, click "Delete" next to the specific shortcut you want to delete. To add buttons to the shortcut bar, click on "Add Shortcut." Give the shortcut a name and type the URL path you want it to lead to. For example, if you wanted to add a shortcut button to install a new module, set the path as "admin/modules/install."

The Drupal Shortcut Icon
-
The default Drupal Shortcut icon, also known as the site favicon, is the small icon that appears in the corner of a browser window or tab when a user visits the site. The default Drupal shortcut icon is the Drupal logo. The water-drop style logo is known as the Druplicon.
Adding a Custom Shortcut Icon
-
If you're unhappy with the default Drupal shortcut icon, you can easily change it. Sign in to your site and click on "Appearance." Click on "Settings" beneath your active theme. Verify "Shortcut Icon" is checked in the "Toggle Display" column, and then remove the check from the "Use the default shortcut icon" box in the "Shortcut Icon Settings" column. Click on "Choose File" and select the custom shortcut icon you want to upload. The icon should be 16 by 16 pixels.
