Julio,
I assume you mean a launcher on your desktop and not the Ubuntu One applet that was in the top gnome-panel. The applet is no longer a feature of Ubuntu One. it was replaced by Ubuntu One Preferences. In Lucid the preferences are accessed by going to me Menu --> Ubuntu One or System --> Preferences --> Ubuntu One.

You can make a new Desktop Launcher by doing the following.

1. right-click on the Desktop and select 'Create Launcher'
2. Select 'Type' Application
3. 'Name' Ubuntu One
4. 'Command' /usr/bin/ubuntuone-preferences
5. Save it and your done

Note: You can do the same in gnome-panel if you wish. Just right-click and select 'Add to Panel'. Then select 'Custom Application Launcher' and click 'Add'. From their it will be similar to the above steps.

thank you,

julio,
Ohhh, ok. I think i understand what you want now :)

You want to create a link to your Ubuntu One folder. The Ubuntu One folder is in your $HOME directory. That is the folder with your username. So it is at /home/julio/Ubuntu One (if julio is your username). Navigate to your $HOME directory and find the Ubuntu One folder. Right-click on the folder and select 'Make Link'. A folder will appear in your $HOME directory called 'Link to Ubuntu One'. Click and drag that folder to your Desktop.

If you have any further questions please ask.

thank you,
duanedesign
