Desktop Icon Question?
Thi might seem a trivial little point but I'm curious and need to know. I installed Adobe Reader 9 and created a destop icon. Unlike all the other icons on my desktop this one has a big arrow projecting out the upper right corner of the icon. Why is that and did I do it wrong?

It is probably a Symbolic Link. In Windows terms a short cut.

You don't say what distro or desktop envionment, but in Ubuntu (Gnome) you can navigate to the program in question in the applications menu then right click and select "Add this launcher to desktop"
