Hi @steve_guerin ,
You can use AddFolderIcon function which can create folder with given icon as well shortcut.
The AddFolderIcon function lets you perform tasks such as the following:
• | Create a shortcut or folder on the Start menu, the Programs menu, or the desktop. Use the szProgramFolder parameter to specify the appropriate location for the shortcut or folder. |
• | Create a cascading submenu on the Startup menu, and include a shortcut in the submenu. |
Examples on how to make use of this function you can find in the below link:
Thanks,
Jenifer
