Is there a simple way to create a desktop shortcut to the exe file of a vb 2012 Pgm?

This can't be as hard as it seems!!

1- Right click on the desktop, select New>Shortcut
2- In create shortcut dialog type the path of devenv.exe, the default location is "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe"

Also you can copy the shortcut in start menu and paste it on the desktop.
