I am trying to install the autodock in windows 10-64 bit. It is getting installed as can be seen in the Program files folder in C drive. However, no desktop icon is being created. Then, what is the procedure to open the software.

Autodock is not a Graphical User Interface program... that means you have to execute the program via command-line...
The simplest way on windows 10 is going to the directory where autodock.exe is and open a terminal there (on windows 10 you can go to the upper left panel in "File" and then "Open WindowPowerShell). Automatically, a new terminal will appear in that specific direction. Then, type .\autodock.exe -h and it should work...
hope this helps!
right click the program file and select sent to desktop (shortcut) option, then you will see the icon on desktop
There is this pdf document with very detailed and simplified steps for the installation and running of AutoDock. Although it was written for an older version, I guess you can follow the same protocol in the recent versions
