You need to create a short-cut and drag it to the desktop.

Programs/Microsoft Games/FSX/Right click on the icon and click on "pin-it-to-start-menu".
Then you'll have it on the left side of your start menu not on the desktop.
It looks neater that way.

I thought he said he wanted a desk top icon. Oh well, either way will work.

Vista?

By definition games have to add themselves to the Game Explorer and not add a desktop shortcut on Vista.
