Deploying a Windows application

[pierrewhy]

I have finish my first VB.NET Windows project with Access DB and it is sitting on a server at c:\housing\
It was published on the same server on a different directory c:\housingdb\
Everything works fine when running the setup file.
How do I give each users, an Icon on their desktop, that will let them run the application?
Is it a special way to deploying?

Being my first project I'm not to familiar with publishing.

Thanks for your help,
Pierre

ClickOnce deployment creates start menu shortcut automatically. For a Setup Project you first add Project Output (primary output) to application folder then add a shortcut to this in Users Programs Menu (both in setup projects File System).
