A build doesn't necessarily create an exe. What software are you using, framework etc?

You don't "pick" were you .exe builds (assuming your project is set to a type that produces an exe), it puts it in the bin directory of the project. A few lines above the "build" complete is the location of the path to the file. While I wish they provided a direct link to open that directory, they don't seem to. You can just copy/paste it into the Run menu.

As a side note, for new projects created:
If you are using VS2005, the pattern is something like this:
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\My Documents\Visua l Studio 2005\Projects\SolutionName\ProjectName\bin\Debug\
or
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\My Documents\Visua l Studio 2005\Projects\SolutionName\ProjectName\bin\Release\

For vs2003 I think you take out the \projects\SolutionName\ part.
