How to change icon of application in program files?

I am developing wpf application. I have created the setup project. It runs successfully and install the application. The application will be shown in Start -> All Programs. Now when the application name appears in the All Programs list, it appears with default icon on left side of application name. I want to change this default icon. For example IE in All Programs has the symbol(e) on left side of it. How to change icon of application in All Programs ? Can you please provide me any solution for the above issue

You may setup the Icon for the application before creating the installer. You can go to the project properties under application tab, you can set the default Icon for the application.

enter image description here

If you want to modify the icon for installed application, then it is going to be same as for rest of the shortcuts for other applications. Right click on the shortcut, select properties and Change Icon.

EDIT: You may see this discussion if want to add a desktop shortcut to the WPF application.
