- open the terminal
- go into your Desktop folder with "cd Desktop" (this may differ in other languages)
- enter "ln -s .. Home"

This will create a so called symbolic link name Home on your desktop.
You can create other links with "ln -s target_path name" anywhere.

The destop is in your home folder. So why do you want to place a link there?

easier way.... open folder to /home then middle click and hold your home folder an drag to your desktop, let go and you'll get a menu prompting you to either move, copy or create a link (shortcut) on your desktop to your home folder.
