To run your script by double clicking on its icon, you will need to create a .desktop file for it:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=My script
Comment=Test hello world script
Exec=/home/user/yourscript.sh
Icon=/home/user/youricon.gif
Terminal=false
Type=Application

Save the above as a file on your Desktop with a .desktop extension. Change /home/user/yourscript.sh and /home/user/youricon.gif to the paths of your script and whichever icon you want it ot have respectively and then you'll be able to launch by double clicking it.

Specifically, for your situation, you need to do:

Create a script that runs mono LOIC.exe. To do so, create a new text file with these contents:
```
#!/bin/bash
mono /home/logan/.loic/LOIC.exe
```
Save this as /home/locan/run_loic.sh and then run this command to make it executable (or right click => properties and choose "Allow executing file as program"):
```
chmod +x /home/logan/.loic/LOIC.exe
```
Create a .desktop file that launches that script. Create a new text file on your Desktop called run_loic.desktop with these contents:
```
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Run LOIC
Comment=Run LOIC
Exec=/home/logan/run_loic.sh
Icon=
Terminal=false
Type=Application
```

Opening .sh files with double click?

I just install PyCharm on ubuntu 14 and by default when i double click it opens the .sh file with gedit. How could I make it to just run the program when i double click?

To run executable files from Nautilus (Files) go to the Edit menu and select Preferences->Behaviour, and under Executable Text Files select Ask each time

Of course this only works if your script IS executable, check in the files properties.
