How to put 'My Computer' on Desktop?

[Hannes22]

Thank you so much for answering. 

Go to Settings - Desktop - Icons    to enable Recycle Bin and Home Icons

Thanks. I got that already. 

As for "My Computer", I think we had a Desktop file that runs thunar for that in previous LLs if I remeber correctly.
So you create an empty file on the desktop and name it computer.desktop.
Open it in a text editor, paste next and save the file.

Code:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=My Computer
Comment=Opens the file manager
Exec=thunar /
Icon=computer
Path=
Terminal=false
StartupNotify=false

After you launch it, you will be asked to make it executable.

Ah, really!? Thanks for that workaround ...

But ... hasn't there been a 'My Computer' shortcut right after installation, if I recall correctly? I didn't expect it to be that complicated to get it back.

But well, if that's the way to go ... I'll try.

Thanks again for your help.
