Go to the application settings tab in the application builder.
You can include external icons there.

As for sending the shortcut to the desktop, here are a couple of guesses:
You can configure the installer to run a file after it finishes. You can try writing some code which will create a shortcut.
Another possibility is the OpenG Installer. It might have this as a part of its functionality.

Hi,

by right clicking the EXE and sending it to the desktop is manual way of creating the icons. is there any way by which while building the exe  itself i can configure the settings? so that on installing the exe the icon is created on the desktop.

G Toolbox (http://gtoolbox.yeah.net) can create shortcut programmatically.
