In order to create shortcuts under the Start->Programs Menu you will need to manually edit the .msi file created by Visual Studio.

First you need to obtain a copy of Orca if you do not already have it. This is a tool that allows you to manually open and edit the msi file database. It comes with the Microsoft Windows Installer SDK (free download):

Once you have installed Orca, follow the instructions as described at the following url:

I found the tutorial listed at the link above to be rather confusing and difficult to follow.

Attached is a file that I created that (hopefully) contains a better description of the steps required, including associating an icon with the Programs Menu shortcut.
