I know where the programs are on my HDD, but I want to make some shotcuts on my desktop that have the icon. Can someone tell me how?
The two programs are Unreal Tournament, in Netscape (Nutscrape) 6.0 http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/cool.gif

what i do is to have a "drawer" on my gnome taskbar with my apps links in there to keep the desktop tidy

right click on the taskbar, select launcher, i think, then type in the relevant stuff, and also the full directory path where it states command, including the file you execute.

have an icon if you wish and hey presto

a "shortcut" for you

Right click on your desktop and select new->launcher(application). You'l need to fill in the blanks (program name and the picture you want). Play around with it. It'll be fun!
