so far i have an icon included as part of the project build. i'm using visual studio 2005 and c#.

i have searched the web for answers and get more confused by each one i read.
is it really all that hard to do?

i have gone through the process of adding a deployment project, but none of the methods i've found and tried worked completely.

i've manually made the HKLM\Security\Shell\Startinfo\Start entries to associate an .png image with the application.

i manually copy the application image to the \windows\start menu\program directory.

how do i accomplish all this with a deployment cab? thanks very much for your help.

Did you try using the search here on ppcgeeks? BiGnAdAd has created a great "How to" which is stickied right above your thread. You can find his how to make cab files HERE. If you don't mind me asking..what does this application you developed do or what is it for?
