Have you tried entering something in the fields it provides you? You'll find that it's very clever in understanding what you're trying to do and it will even autocomplete all fields if you use the name of the application, or part of it, as used in the menus.
As a general rule, irregardless the OS, in order to open something with an application, the command to use is:
A - Right click on desktop to bring up menus
B- Clinching on "Create Launcher" brings up "Create Launcher" box
C - Filling as the the boxes as shown in "C". Since you want to have a "shortcut' to your download file you need to launch the filemanager thunar with a path to the "Download" directory. Also select a icon that you like. when your done filling all the boxes, click on create and you should get..
D- ...an icon on your desktop that will give you your "shortcut' to your download directory

In the command field of "Create Launcher" put thunar /path_to_download_directory
I tried it, i`m lame i know, but not that lame, I typed this: thunar sdc Záloha II/!Download/
Záloha II is the name of disk, and i don`t know what is wrong

Don't under estimate yourself. You just need to dig in a little deeper into the information that we are providing you. The answer to your keyboard question is right there, you just need to explore a little. Here:
Un-checked the "Use System Defaults then click on the "Add" button and look for your keyboard layout
I typed this: thunar sdc Záloha II/!Download/
Záloha II is the name of disk, and i don`t know what is wrong
sdc is not part of the directory path. Open a terminal and post the output of the command "mount".

I read it really (the system config), i tried everything i find here and i typed into command Line in Launcher this: thunar /media/Záloha II/!Download/
and still does not work(it says the file does not exist).
