You want a shortcut (PIF). Do you also want a batch file? Is so, point your shortcut to the BAT file, otherwise, point your shortcut at QBASIC.EXE. Either way, you probably want to use the /run switch.
sample batch program:
@echo off
c:\qbasic\qbasic.exe /run c:\mydir\myprog.bas
Or, the command line in you PIF:
c:\qbasic\qbasic.exe /run c:\mydir\myprog.bas
You can also edit the file associations for Windows, and add an action to run you program.
Why would you want to hide your code?
Regards, Michael.

P.S.
Also use the SYSTEM statement to end your program, instead of END.

I believe I already said this.
Goto RUN, then Click Make exe file
Now that will hide your code + you'll have an icon you can see in explore that you can create a shortcut from that if you click it you'll start the program w/out seeing the code.
