I also uninstalled the "Shortcut App" before I started this tread. I hope that helps.

So you have to create a symlink for it for position 4(quicklaunchbar3):
Check in /home/user/.local/share/applications/ that you have only four symlink entries for quicklaunchbar buttons 0,1,2,3
Then edit your launcherdata file, adding entry for position 3:
Then reboot.
Good luck!

Thank you for the tip!
I have read somewhere that after 3 home screen restarts, phone will reboot itself automatically, as it assumes something is wrong with home screen.

After you have symlinks created, you have to see that you have 4 entries in launcherbuttons.data file. They look like this:
You have to edit the file - just copy/paste the line you are missing and save file. Kill meegotouchhome:
Your quicklaunchbar must be OK now.

I did some research to see how to activated "Developer Mode" for the first time and played around with the issue when I got back into town. Thanks

These are commands. You enter them in terminal. Every command has its meaning, e.g. ln=link, cd=change directory etc. Read a bit about some basics of shell usage - it will be useful.
Also - I do not understand what you mean by "rooted". root is just another user on the linux system, that has more privileges than "normal" user. Some tasks require root privileges. Some don't. For example if you want to edit a file belonging to "root" - you need to be root. You can check file ownership by entering
in the directory where the file is locate. It will give you list of the contents of the folder with all ownership and other atributes.

@ zlatko I understand. Yep..., I'm researching about "Terminal Commands" as we speak. Yes..., I meant "Root" but I see you answered my question any how. Oh and I managed to fix my forth shortcut error (the symlink 3) with the desired icon ( the stock browser ) but I now have a duplicite stock browser on symlink 0, which was my phone icon. Lol. Now I got to fix that. Thanks.

If you managed to get fixed one shortcut, then it is only matter of correcting carefully all 4 of them. You have got the knowledge already
