I not understand exactly your problem; anyway
if the button not launch the program
- if you drag a exe file inside a group works only if it is a standalone program
- if you've created a link sure that it works even without 8start
- if you have not created the button with organize button make sure you have regenerated the cache
(apply on organize button ...)
- if you created the button with organize button make sure you have correctly used absolute or relative path
if the button does not have the icon
- check on design button [] the icon flag
- you have regenerated the cache when 8start not found the program
extract the program icon (or download one from the web) and give to the button
