I have an app or registration Entries that allow me to show my Power Plan on my desktop. I run it, but it doesn't show it on my desktop. So what do I need to do to make it show it?

You didn't provide enough information regarding what you currently use to show the power plan on the desktop, but the link below provides information on how to set a power plan shortcut on the desktop. The details are in item #4 on the weblink.

@Sir_George On my desktop I use to an icon with the powerplant picture. I use to be able to click that on that which would bring up the 3/4 power plans and I could change it that way.

As I mentioned in my first post, you haven't provided any information regarding the name of the application you use. So, with no further information, I offered the weblink as an alternative. If you want to share the application name you used, I will try to provide more information for that app.
