2 questions with application deployment

[Steve_RI]

Hello, I'm new to the forums. I have developed a simple application and I'd like to improve the quality/look of the deployment. I think these are very basic questions. First, the icon on the desktop is appears as "MyApp.exe". Can I modify the installer so it just says "MyApp" when installed? Also, I would like to deploy my own icon for the desktop, but I can't seem to get that to work either. I'm working in Visual studio if that helps. Thanks.

Well, I figured out the first issue, but I still can't get the icon I want on the desktop?
