So my guess is that it would still work if the exec is in your home dir (I don't like copying things to /usr/bin).
So probably this should work:

Code:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=0.1
Type=Application
Name=tabcgpa
Exec=/home/user/tabcgpa
Icon=
Btw: I don't think you should specify anything for the icon, I don't believe you have an icon present called 'tabcgpa", so this can be left empty (then the default icon is chosen for sure). Would be nice if you could try this out :-)
But still thanks for the info.
hey i did copy a 64x64 png also to usr/share/
yea u are right it shud work from /home/user/
