Hi. I'm using Lubuntu but i've a "problem". There's only a way to access to my documents, clicking the icon in the menu. How can i put another access in the desktop (direct access)?. I tried copy paste and things like that but did not work.
I'm newbey in linux and lxde. Thanks if u can help me.

I'm argentinian sorry if my english is not good enough

Just thought of a quick fix for you. Create a file in in Desktop for example with name shortcat and put the line

pcmanfm ~/Documents/

in it. You will also need to make it executable. For that execute

chmod +x Desktop/shortcut

in terminal. Now double click on you file and Documents should open.

Hope this helps,
Levon

Ok you won,

Here's how to do it properly. Create a file with name something.desktop and put these 5 lines there.

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Documents
Exec=pcmanfm /home/levon/Documents
Type=Application
Icon=folder

and of course substitute "levon" with your username.

Cheers,
Levon
