Re: [Solved] [How to] change the place of "lock screen" in desktop right-click menu

There must be a .desktop file somewhere for the "Lock Screen" entry. Its either in /usr/share/applications or possibly in ~/.local/share/applications if you've created it yourself. Lets assume this desktop file is named "lockscreen.desktop". (Replace the name with the acutal name of the desktop file on your system).

Then, insert between:

<Filename>xfce4-about.desktop</Filename>

...and

<Filename>xfce4-session-logout.desktop</Filename>

...the entry:

<Filename>lockscreen.desktop</Filename>
