Hi
Basicly, it's similiar to win95. Press your mouse right button on your
desktop,
choose New > Application, Give it a name instead of what is written
there ("Progarm.link" or somthing like that), and choose o.k.
Now press on the new icon with the mouse right button and choose
properties. Insert in Execute that path and the exec file name. You can
press on the icon symbol to change the it. That's basicly all. Good
Luck.
