    Just wondering how can I create a shortcut on the desktop to my mystic folder?

    I have my mystic folder located on a usb drive which is mounted in the root folder as /extdrive/mystic/.

    I don't want to create a symbolic link just a shortcut like in Windows. I
    can't see any way to do so but there has to be. Also is there a way to create
    a shortcut on the desktop that will open the terminal at /extdrive/mystic/? Alternatively is there a way to have the terminal always open at /extdrive/mystic/ ?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    Not sure if anyone's answered this yet, but hold ctrl-alt-shift and drag to
    the desktop.

    If you are using Pixel desktop try this. Create a new file on your desktop
    and add this to it. Adjust to fit your needs.

    -------------------------------------------
    [Desktop Entry]

    Terminal=false
    MimeType=x-directory/normal;inode/directory; -----------------------------------------

    also you can add a cd /mystic to the end of your .bashrc to open your shell there.
