Hi Pablo, thanks you so much for this little how to. I think we need much more of those little tricks. In order for people to find the, it would be great to have them in the forum and in the wiki. I rephrased your email a bit into a neutral style and put it up in the wiki. Maybe you would like to add more details or maybe you have more little tricks, then please add them in the forum and wiki as well. The wikipage is here: http://wiki.lxde.org/en/How_to_get_Folders%2C_Files_and_Icon_Launchers_on_the_Desktop If you have a blog writing about LXDE, be sure to also let us know, please. All the best.
