Okay, I downloaded Tor and installed it. So now I'd like to create an icon for my desktop for Tor. How do I go about doing that? I made one for FireFox, but I can't figure out Tor. Sorry to keep bothering you guys.

I did this a while ago and I think I used this method:

Those are for the bottom tray or tool bar. I did one of those and now that one works. But what I wanted was an icon on the desktop so I can put it next to the "Home" folder. Thank you though, that took care of part of it.

I think you should be able to copy the file from the /home/username/.local/share/applications onto your Desktop:
~/.local/share/applications$ cp bozi-1.desktop ~/Desktop/
