I am writing my first .NET application out and having been trying to get it published. But everytime I do it I get the EXE, assets, and .dll files into one folder but not one application. I have gone through the process of publishing by having the Deployment Mode be Self-Contained and then the produce single file option checked as well. But still get these separate files in one folder.

Again this is my first time doing this and would appreciate any help or assistance to get this thing into one so that it can run properly and at all. I imagine it like this so that others can put it on their desktop for ease of access instead of having to go into a folder everytime they want to use it.

Any tips?
