Two files, which have writing, are wiped from Desktop
after recent Update is completed,
And unable to make desktop short cut of Apps.
Any fix?

Are you sure the files are wiped or pcmanfm is no longer drawing the desktop.
What happens if you runCode:ls -al ~/Desktop
Code:pcmanfm --desktop

here's output:
taro@taro-HP-Mini-110-3000:~$ ls -al ~/Desktop
ls: cannot access '/home/taro/Desktop': No such file or directory
taro@taro-HP-Mini-110-3000:~$ pcmanfm --desktop
taro@taro-HP-Mini-110-3000:~$
You have no ~/Desktop directory to draw the desktop.
I doubt an update would remove ~/Desktop. Accidentally delete possibly????
Recreate directory
Then check ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs for the correct entry.Code:mkdir ~/Desktop
Should have a line
Edit if necessary, save and log out.Code:XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop"
I don't use Lubuntu, but I tested in a live Lubuntu 16.04 usb and after deleting ~/Desktop, the above method worked to restore.
Before that you should check if Ubuntu is installed in English.
