Is this the tpb program that does something with the keys on an IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad? The best way to do this is as a newbie is to open Synaptic and you'll find that it's in one of the Ubuntu repositories. Do a Search and you should find it. Just install it there as that's the most reliable way of diong things if you are a newcomer and need to get things done.
If yu succeed in installing it frm Synaptic, just delete the flder, which you probably downloaded from somewhere.

The path for the Desktop is /home/[usernameHere]/Desktop. or you can do ~/Desktop. The squiggly is a shortcut that goes to whichever username you are logged under. Be careful to not use the squiggly under root, since root user does not have a Desktop.
