C# publish application properties

I want to publish a desktop application in C#, I created a setup project and every thing is ok but I can not find where to:

  1. Modify the name of the program folder which is now: 'Default Company Name'.
  2. How can I force it to show a desktop short cut.
Solution

  • Modify the name of the program folder which is now: 'Default Company Name'.

    click on Setup solution then press F4 , or get properties menu you will find the Author / Manufacturer / ... with 'Default Company Name' so change them with whatever you want

    How can I force it to show a desktop short cut.

    right click on solution -> view -> File System

    choose Application Folder then right click on the files that you wish to create shortcut on desktop then choose 'Create Shortcut to ........'

    then go to User's desktop and rename the shortcut (remove Shortcut word from the shortcut name)
