how to make link from application menu

I saved it in desktop as matlab.desktop
go superuser.
/home/yourusername/Desktop# cp matlab.desktop /usr/share/applications

then voila!


*******************
How did I get the softlink to matlab appication:

sudo ln -s /home/yourusername/matlab/bin/matlab /usr/bin/matlab

creates a new link which enables to launch of matlab without junk folder list. like: Exec=/home/yourusername/matlab/bin/matlab
before that I deleted the matlab link found in /usr/bin/matlab
by rm /usr/bin/matlab
