Hi Bob,

On the file system tab of the Setup project, you have "User's Desktop" as
one of the possible folders in the treeview. If you don't see it...
Right-click "File System on Target Machine" to add a "new special folder".
Assuming you haven't done this already.

If you select this, on the right hand side you should have a list for the
contents pane... Right-click in there, select the option "create new
shortcut" then... Select application folder from the drop-down of dialog box
you get... Then Add file button becomes active.. Click that, and navigate to
you're file, or shortcut you've created, which I would manually put in the
project folder, before all of this.

Given the project is an excel file... Not an exe.. It's a bit of a fiddle to
have a custom icon for the shortcut, rather than setting the icon on an exe.

Anyway... Hope this makes sense.

Hi Calvin,

I was able to add the icon file to the application folder without
any problem. However, the development environment would
not allow me to select and add a shortcut file I had created to
the application folder.

Any more ideas?
