Start Menu
-
Hi everybody. I want to make an application, that its added to the start menu by itself. If any body can explain me how i can make that, i will be gratefull.
As the Start menu simply displays folder entries, I would imagine that you could simply create an entry in the desired folder. For example, if you wanted to create an entry for the user tomarcher, you would add the entry to the c:\documents and settings\tomarcher\start menu folder. If you open the documents and settings folder you can see all this or if you right click the start menu and select Explore you can easily see where your entries would go. [EDIT] Note that what I'm saying is a "manual" way of doing things. There might be a specific API for doing this that someone else can share with us.

The start menu itself is just a user directory. Usually C:\Documents and Settings\%USER%\Start Menu\ but you should call SHGetSpecialFolderLocation with CSIDL_STARTUP, then you can copy a shortcut to this path.

I read something about IShellLink and IPersistFile. But when i go to save the link, the aplication sends me an AccessDenied error. But i dont know what is the problem.
I don't really know what to say except check the permissions, not everyone can modify other users directories or "AllUsers."
