Good night. I have a problem, I installed Lubuntu operating system, but I have a question as I put the icons on the desktop, icons such as trash, home, etc ... I would also like to know how to enter the browser window as administrator.

Indeed, it's very hard to interpret "as I put the icons on the desktop, icons such as trash, home, etc" as a question.– Eliah KaganJun 3, 2012 at 3:46

Just to clarify for others' benefit, by "browser window" it looks like you mean a file browser e.g. PCMan, because doing that with a web browser would be a really bad idea (and unnecessary).– thomasrutterJun 3, 2012 at 23:14

For the root access in the File manager PCMANFM, you can open it and the option to access a folder (Change to root) is in the TOOLS MENU. Select "Open Curent Folder as Root" and type in the password. In some cases you might get an error about the root not working. You can skip this since it will actually work.
For the TRASH icon you can do the following:
Right click the desktop and select Create New.. --> Blank File
Name it whatever you want. Just open the file afterwards and put this inside:
[Desktop Entry]
Comment=Contains removed files
EmptyIcon=trashcan_empty
Encoding=UTF-8
Icon=trashcan_full
Name=Trash
Type=Link
URL=trash:/
This will create the Trash icon which you can access the Trash folder to either verify, restore or remove items.

Well your question seens difficult to understand but from what i comprehend you want to do 2 things
- Add desktops icons like Thrash , home folder etc
- Administrator rights while using Lubuntu's file manager
pcmanfm.
Solution for 1
Type this in terminal
sudo apt-get install dconf-tools
then press Alt+F2 and type dconf-editor
Then navigate to apps ----> nautilus ----> desktop
You might find something lke this
Just change the No value to what you want and click on the check box (the second one should be an example)
Solution for 2
For administrator rights for the file manager pcmanfm
type
gksu pcmanfm
You could also add a .desktop shortcut for the admin privileges
Right click your desktop. Choose New > Blank file. When the dialog opens, enter the name
pcmanfm-root.desktop
and click OK.
Open the file with leafpad and enter the following (use copy and paste)
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Icon=system-file-manager
Name=PCManFM Super User
Comment=Browse the file system and manage the files
Categories=FileManager;FileManager;X-MandrivaLinux-System-FileTools;
Exec=gksu -l pcmanfm /root
StartupNotify=truegksu pcmanfm /root
Terminal=false
MimeType=x-directory/normal;inode/directory;
Encoding=UTF-8
X-Desktop-File-Install-Version=0.11
Save and exit. This will create an icon on your desktop.

Ok I think I have not been able to explain. What I want is to put the respective icons trash, home, etc on the desktop. I also want to know how to enter the file manager, is that in Ubuntu's Nautilus, but not as open in Lubuntu and a root to modify some things in the root directory.

Thank you very much friend, I did what you said but still I have the same problem, check the icons and have not seen, will not know if a system failure. Although it looks better without icons, but I will continue trying with the window manager Jun 3, 2012 at 6:13

Ctrl + A while on the desktop & if your mouse is functional, go ahead and right click a desktop icon and unselect "Stick to Current Postition" and select Snap to grid. This worked for me.
