just curious but why do you need a shortcut if its in the menu? Does the extra "click" cause you distress my liege? 

But seriously - I haven't been on ubuntu in a while. But I recall that its not that hard with GNOME. 

I would try something like this: 

Locate "application.exe" in your system - whatever app your trying to do this with. 

So edit your application.sh file like so....

That should work - especially if you were not sure how to set up the path for your exe.


Like lets say I want to set up a game short cut - my wow shell script, from desktop.

Make sure you have the proper syntax in your script. Forgetting the /cd or missing a period can fuckz it upz. 

good luck
