If only things were that easy in Ubuntu 16.04!!

There is no way to create a shortcut from the desktop of from the file, checking online I get this:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/8543...sktop-shortcut
I'm not sure what the best method is.

Since there is a shortcut on the desktop already I could just copy that and edit it. That seemed to work, the editable boxes are:
Name Far Cry 2
Description
Command (I have entered the path and exe here)
Comment
There is no place for 'work path'??
There is also a tab for Permissions that has the 'Program is executable" ticked.
Where would I place the parameters, I assume at the end of the command?
I haven't tried it yet, there is no place to say run windowed.
