Displaying the icon in the Control Panel is appearantly not supported for ClickOnce applications. You will have to do it yourself. Please refer to the following links for more information:

Did you do this:

You also set the ico file as the project icon.

Since that's under the Icon and Manifest I guess you did that.

Also

The main window ought to have it's icon set to thee icon.

The main window is the first window you open - which of course may or may not be called MainWindow.

Hope that helps.

Make sure that you have set an icon for the application (and not just the window) under Project->Properties->Application->Resources->Icon in Visual Studio.

Then this icon should show up in the start menu.
