Yes.  First a general suggestion, go to the nearest bookstore and pick up a 
copy of Amazing Computing.  In the back you will find a list of the Fish disks
complete with program descriptions.  A program called IconEXEC or something 
similar is on one that ties a script file to an icon.

Yes, there is a program called RUNBACK availble on another Fish disk that 
does just this.  I use it to start up DropShadow in my startup-sequence.
