new app not appearing in program menu or launch pad

Made a new bottle and installed software.
It is unsupported software I use regularly on an old pc with win7. it works well with xp or win7.
Anyway like the title says. Installed in a new xp bottle but have to go hunting to find the .exe file to launch the program.
I made an alias and placed it on my desktop.
Once launched it seems to work fine. It is a database program.
How do i get it to appear with other programs in the menu bar or at least on my launchpad?

Thanks,
John

Okay I solved the problem.

1) I went to 'Programs' on the menubar and chose 'Run Command'
2) Selected the correct bottle, and directed the command to the exe file.
3) Clicked run- it seemed to work, then 'Save Command to Programs Menu' and voila!
