How to add "Computer" icon on XFCE [SOLVED]

Post by jackhammer »

Hello community! I'm a new linux user migrating from windows, and I have a noobie question:
I tried installing two distros of mint - one with cinnamon, and other with xfce. I chose xfce, because it is much more lightweit, and this is way better for my old pc.
Cinnamon had a "Computer" desktop icon, and XFCE doesn't have one. It shows drives directly on a dektop.

Is there any way I can create such icon on XFCE?

By the way sorry for my bad english, it's not my native language.

I am using Linux Mint 19.1 Xfce and this did not work for me. I don't have a "Places" on the menu from which to add it either. I'm stumped.

You don't see this menu after you right-click on the desktop?
