In Xfce, right click anywhere on the wallpaper and choose 'Create a launcher' from the contextual menu that pops on.
Or else adddin to the panel it is almost the same, right click anywhere on the panel, then choose 'Add an element' and then 'Launcher'.
If I may say, this is quite basic stuff ( at least for someone intending to be the next Steve Job
).
Googling might have been a more appropriate (and fast) way to get this info.

It's probably
/usr/bin/application
One way of making sure is from a terminal,
as I just found by searching online for "find application path in Linux"; I used to use the
whereis command, but that tells you the path to all sorts of other related stuff too.
which is exactly the right tool here.
So for instance
Code: Select all
vanilla[~]$ which firefox
/usr/bin/firefox
vanilla[~]$

You're welcome
I hope you won't mind my pointing out that a more specific question would have got you the answer more quickly, as in:
I'm trying to create a launcher shortcut in xfce, which I found out how to do by fiddling around with it/searching, but I'm not sure how to work out the application path.
You original question
How can i create launcher for qBtorrent?
looks as if you are asking for the information Akuna gave you.
