I have the same limitation as you have. Please note that the URW A030 
Arial is not really Arial. The differences between Arial and Helvetica 
are described in

http://ilovetypography.com/2007/10/06/arial-versus-helvetica/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helvetica
http://www.ms-studio.com/articlesarialsid.html

When using the URW Arial, the G and R are the Arial ones, but the C, t, 
a, 1 are the Helvetica ones. You can actually even see that for a, t and 
1 on the sample text on page:

http://www.tug.dk/FontCatalogue/arial/
which also states that The font that is actually provided is URW A030.


I could notice that in latex code appear \usepackage{helvet} when I
select it in the drop down menu, so I think is possible to do the same
thing for the urw-arial. After all it will be just adding another font
to LyX.


If you nonetheless want to use this fake arial font, once you have it 
installed through MikTeX (which I think you have already), all you need 
to do is to add


\usepackage[scaled]{uarial}

to the preamble (in Document - Settings... - LaTeX Preamble).



I need to know how to do that... A tutorial or something please.

Please help!
Thankyou in advance...

PS: off-topic. You wrote Helvetiva is almost an Arial clone, but it's 
more the opposite.

You may be better off simply using Helvetica (and setting Sans Serif
as the main font for your document), or getting XeTeX and/or LuaTeX up
and working on your system. For that you may need to Update your
MiKTeX database.
