| | creating a shortcut in the All Users Start menu I would like to put a shortcut into the All Users Start menu (if I may use this term). I found the menu at c:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu. By getting to this area via Windows Explorer, and by right clicking in the folder and choosing New, all I seem to be able to create is an empty folder. How can I create a short cut here? Thanks, ~alan |
