How do I add a desktop VM icon to a previously set up VM?

I just installed Windows XP through Parallels on a 2nd machine. It gave me an option saying that I can place an icon for this VM on the desktop and by default this was checkmarked. I like this option a lot.
The problem I have is on my other machine that I have Parallels on I'd like to do the same. I already have a Windows XP VM on that computer but don't have a desktop icon. Is it possible to add this desktop VM icon to a previously installed VM?
 
Do you mean an icon off the virtual disk?

see picture and click on Mount .....

To make alias of your VM configuration file on the Desktop please do the following:
1. Open ~/Documents/Parallels/<VM name> folder
2. Press Alt and Command keys together and drag the VM configuration (.pvs) icon to the Desktop.
That's all.
