How to create desktop icon/link to executable w/o showing run/edit dialog

[Mike Klein]

I have installed firebird and thunderbird (which work flawlessly with 
certs unlike Mozilla, Netscape, or IE or Eudora) and wanted to create a 
simple link to them on my desktop.

Best I can do is create a link to them using the file browser (or create 
a shell script...but this opens an extra window) and then cut/paste that 
link to the desktop. Using the desktop's launcher menuitem creates icons 
with little glyphs indicating r/w status, etc. The problems with the 
first two options is that a dialog is shown asking what I want to do 
with the file: edit/run/cancel, etc.

This s/be super simple, I must be missing something basic.

thanks in advance...
