    Hello All, I need to add a short cut icon to launch my custom application from Start-->All Programs. To elaborate, when I click on Start-->All Program, I should be able to see the name of my applcation like many others already are (Microsoft Office etc.), clicking on icon should make me launch my application.I do not have any idea how to achieve this? Please suggest. Thanks and Regards. Amarjeet.

        Programmatically? If yes... SHGetSpecialFolderLocation() and SHGetPathFromIDList() can get you info on where to put shortcuts. To create shortcuts, see Shell Links[^] Mark
