Hold down Command and Option keys while dragging the file to the desktop. You'll notice that the pointer changes to a curved arrow...this means that it's going to create an alias (alias is the name for shortcut in the Mac OS). Once you let the mouse button go, it will create an alias on the desktop.
Try to keep in mind that while the desktop concept is basically the same on both Windows and Mac OS X (windows, icons, menus, pointer), there are some minor differences in how each carries on certain functions. Be open to learn them and don't try and make Mac OS X act like Windows. It will only lead to unneeded frustration. The same thing can happen to people moving from Mac OS X to Windows.
