Extending Kubuntu System Menu

Did you ever wonder how to extend the Kubuntu system menu with your own directory links? Well here is how you do it:

a) All the links are stored in a folder called:
/usr/share/apps/systemview

b) Use whatever editor you like to create new link files for your directories. The content of such a file should look as follows:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Type=Link
URL=[Path to the folder you want]
Name=[Give your link a friendly name]
Icon=[Specify path to any icon you like]

That's all you have to do. Now you can add shortcuts to all of your favorite folders.

Have fun!
