How do you distribute your program?

I make my programs as a single ".exe" file (using JSmooth, etc.) and install 
using Inno setup installer!
It creates Start up and desktop menus with program icons, exactly what 
Windows users will expect.
So I don't have application directory. I am not sure whether there is better 
way than I am doing,
or I am doing the right way for Windows users.
