How to add Tor Browser to my menu/launcher for regular use?

In the latest version, I managed to do this by

./start-tor-browser.desktop --register-app

from shell within the directory and it created the entry in my applications-menu just fine.

Just open it with whatever script you already used and right click on its icon in unity/menu and choose lock to launcher ;)

OR #2 Option --

based on Ubuntu documentation, just open up the file 'launcher_name_here.desktop' with atext editor e.g, gedit , and then paste these codes, modify them with your application execution scripts and location and then save it:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=x.y
Name=ProgramName
Comment=This is my comment
Exec=/home/alex/Documents/exec.sh
Icon=/home/alex/Pictures/icon.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Utility;Application;

OR #3 Option ---

use the extra gnome application "gnome-panel/alacarte" by this command in terminal :

sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends gnome-panel and then

gnome-desktop-item-edit ~/Desktop/ --create-new

In any case I would suggest to take a look at my references link above. ;)
