Just installed Ubuntu 14 and I'm brand new to it. I have programs that are installed I see when I search but do not show in the dock to the left or on the desktop. How do I add desktop icons? I tried dragging and I looked for some way to do this by right clicking on the icon and see no way to do it. I found old posts (for V12) that say to go to advanced setting but I just see settings and there is nothing there. How do I get to advanced setting?

Thanks!

Open the File Manager (nautilus) and go to Files -> Enter Location or press Ctrl + L.

enter image description here

Type /usr/share/applications and press Enter.

Now, copy the required applications and paste them on the Desktop.

You can now open these applications by double-clicking on them.
