I had trouble with this myself. Here is a project template that works:

You can see I tried a lot of things and I haven't taken the time to narrow it down. I believe these lines are the key:

   <Shortcut Id="DesktopShortcut" Directory="DesktopFolder"
 Name="JTsApp" WorkingDirectory="INSTALLDIR" Advertise="yes"
 Icon="favicon.ico" IconIndex="0" />
       <Shortcut Id="ExeShortcut" Directory="ApplicationProgramsFolder" Name="JTsApp" WorkingDirectory="INSTALLDIR"  Advertise="yes"
 Icon="favicon.ico" IconIndex="0" />


Although, I haven't ruled out these lines:

 <Component Id="JTsApp_DefaultIcon_exe_RegKey_Component">
           <RegistryValue Id="JTsApp_DefaultIcon_exe_RegKey" Root="HKCR" Key="JTsApp\DefaultIcon" Name="Default"
 Value="TouchTypingWizard.exe,1" Type="string" KeyPath="yes" />
         </Component>


Anyway, here is proof it works:



Here are the files in the setup project directory:



Here is what the solution looks like:



^^ Note: I reference the C:\Program Files\WiX Toolset v3.8\bin\WixUIExtension.dll and I include the MyWixUI_Minimal.wxs file.

Here is the Setup Project for you to download and confirm it works:

Also here what you need to add these three section to your wxs file.
Don't forget the feature section

Add this to the feature section

<Feature Id="DesktopShortCut" Title="AppName" Level="1">
  <ComponentGroupRef Id="DesktopShortcut" />
</Feature>


Add this to your directories section

  <SetDirectory Id="DesktopFolder" Value="H:\Desktop" />
  <Directory Id="DesktopFolder" Name="Desktop" />


Also add this CompenentGroup

  <ComponentGroup Id="DesktopShortcut" Directory="DesktopFolder">
  <Component Id="ApplicationShortcutDesktop" Guid="FF285292-BB8A-4012-96E4-70C126B2F030">
    <Shortcut Id="ApplicationDesktopShortcut" Name="AppName" Description="AppName" Target="[INSTALLFOLDER]AppName.exe" WorkingDirectory="INSTALLFOLDER" />
    <RemoveFolder Id="DesktopFolder" On="uninstall" />
    <RegistryValue Root="HKCU" Key="Software\AppName" Name="installed" Type="integer" Value="1" KeyPath="yes" />
  </Component>
</ComponentGroup>

You should not assign a value to DesktopFolder yourself. In fact I am surprised you are even able to. The DesktopFolder Property is set by Windows installer itself during FileCosting (standard operation during installation).

Due to the special concept of a per-user and per-machine installation (installation context) being controlled by the value of the ALLUSERS property, the path of this property can point to either the user's desktop folder, or that of the all user's desktop folder:


C:\Users\UserName\Desktop
C:\Users\Public\Desktop


This rather usless concept (installation context) causes a lot of confusion. The consensus seems to be that it is best to set ALLUSERS=1 for a per-machine installation. They are easier to manage. Per user installation allows for the incredible concept that the same setup is installed repeatedly for different users, making upgrades, cleanup, uninstall and patching hard. There are many other issues too, here is an article on the subject (this is a good read): http://www.indigorose.com/webhelp/sufwi/Concepts/Per-Machine_vs._Per-User_Installations.htm



I would provide you with a real sample if I had access to my script repository, but I don't at the moment. Instead, please try this well known Wix tutorial (towards the bottom): http://wix.tramontana.co.hu/tutorial/net-and-net/launch-the-internet

Here is just the code from the tutorial inline:

<Property Id="URL" Value="http://www.something.com" />
<Shortcut Id="WebShortcut" Name="Web URL" Description="Jump to our website" Target="[URL]" />


Here are two other samples:


http://wix.tramontana.co.hu/tutorial/upgrades-and-modularization/fragments
http://wix.tramontana.co.hu/tutorial/getting-started/the-files-inside




If you want to create the folder via VBScript here is a quick example:

' Add a shortcut on the users desktop

Const DESKTOPFOLDER= 16

Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set objFolder = objShell.Namespace(DESKTOPFOLDER) 
Set objFolderItem = objFolder.Self     

Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
strDesktopFld = objFolderItem.Path
Set objURLShortcut = objShell.CreateShortcut(strDesktopFld & "\MSDN.url")
objURLShortcut.TargetPath = "http://msdn.microsoft.com"
objURLShortcut.Save


Note that you will need to add a script to delete such a shortcut on uninstall. To clean up for all users on the desktop you would need to use ActiveSetup (maybe read this post too on ActiveSetup) and register a cleanup job since the cleanup would happen on their next logon. This can be a huge headache since the setup could be reinstalled by them (same or new version), and then you need to cancel any pending per user cleanup operations.



For the record, and this is a time saver, you can also greatly simplify your Wix XML by relying on default attribute values for many items. See more details in this post: Syntax for guids in WIX?

Quick sample. This is sufficient: 

<Component>
  <File Source="..\File.dll" />
</Component>


as opposed to

<!-- Sample guid below, do not copy paste -->
<Component Id="File.dll" Guid="{12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789ABC}">
  <File Id="File.dll" Name="File.dll" KeyPath="yes" Source="..\File.dll" />
</Component>
