How to create shortcuts in LXDE
A good tutorial in creating shortcuts in LXDE can be found here:

Basic steps:
1. Create a .desktop file in the ~/.local/share/applications (note that this folder may not exist on a brand new LXDE installation, but you can create it manually)
2. Paste the following text into the file:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Type=Application
Name=Hardware info
Name[en_US]=Hardware info
Exec=/usr/bin/hardinfo
Comment[en_US]=Hardware info
StartupNotify=true
Categories=Utility
Note that the ‘freedesktop’ categories do not directly map to the LXDE category names, so here is the mapping between LXDE categories and freedesktop categories:
Accessories <-> Utility
Graphics <-> Graphics
Internet <-> Network
Office <-> Office
Sound & Video <-> AudioVideo
System Tools <-> System
If you want to create a shortcut on the Desktop, then copy the .desktop file to $HOME/desktop
