It's different with Windows, we should install additional tools to create desktop shortcut in Ubuntu. First, you must install the tools by this command.

$ sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends gnome-panel

Then, run the tools to create desktop shortcut.

$ gnome-desktop-item-edit /home/<user>/Desktop/ --create-new

After that, a pop up window will show up. You should fill information about the shortcut.
