What version of the game (Steam, Gog, website) are you using ?
Can you add a logfile ?

I think you tried to make shortcut on your desktop, and copied Factorio.exe to your desktop instead.

Drag it to the desktop while pressing alt (iirc). The icon should show a little arrow in a corner to show it is a link.

Alternately, you can right click on it and click "send to" and then "desktop (create shortcut)".
