Thanks for your reply,
I have tried to follow you directions but still have problems, i right click on solutions explorer and i select 'add' but there no New Project there is a 'new ideas'
I create a application using visual studios 2005 - Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition.
I have been using the click once to deploy the application but found that i when the users install the application, it doesn't create a short cut onto there desktop.
