Hi Ron, can you explain a little more about this?
You have a file called './' without the ''?
./ is a directory, not a file. Namely it is your current directory.
./blah would be a file/directory inside the current directory
Or do you want to execute a program that is in your home directory?
In your home directory, you would type in ./blah in order to run this program. So now
you want a shortcut to blah in your home or other directory to be placed on your
desktop.
Are you using Gnome or KDE? They have different ways to do it. I personally don't
use either, so can't be of much help other than clarifying what you want to do. I
would suggest trying to right click on your background. Perhaps there is a 'new link'
or *gasp* a 'new shortcut' option. For your path you would type in something like:
~/blah to execute the program 'blah' in your home directory
blah to execute the program stored somewhere in your PATH environment variable
/usr/bin/blah to execute 'blah' stored in the directory /usr/bin
Hope this helps.
Cory
