Maybe CreateShortCut function help you. I find this example in NSIS documentation:


CreateShortCut "$SMPROGRAMS\My Company\My Program.lnk" "$INSTDIR\My Program.exe" \
  "some command line parameters" "$INSTDIR\My Program.exe" 2 SW_SHOWNORMAL \
  ALT|CTRL|SHIFT|F5 "a description"

For the best use the icons (.ico) rather then bitmap (.bmp).
For your bmp this will look as:


CreateShortCut "$DESKTOP\My Program.lnk" "$INSTDIR\My Program.exe" "" "c:\Doorbell.bmp"

If use dll with large number icon.


CreateShortCut "$DESKTOP\My Program.lnk" "$INSTDIR\My Program.exe" "" "c:\Doorbell.dll" ${ic_ind}

where ic_ind - a number of the icon in dll

Probably you quicker has found their own answers if used "Search" with filter, for example icon, or shortcut, or CreateShortCut. There has found and examples.
