The link is to a a script which causes evince to load the pdf manual for a phone I gave her.
How can we have an icon, eg a picture of a phone, for that symlink?
(instead of the generic thing it now has)
Thanks,

Use a launcher on the desktop instead.
Rightclick the desktop and in the rightclick menu select " Create Launcher. "
To add the pdf, in the command input add " evince /path/to/my.pdf "
then for the icon click the icon button and when the menu appears " Select icon from: " > " All Icons " > type " phone " in the search,
it will show a phone, select that and OK it.
Hope that helps.
I will try it.
THANK YOU!
