How to pin shortcut to StartMenu static list?
Hi all,
I need to add shortcut to the static list in Start Menu (Windows XP, not classic view). It should be positioned like "nunit" shortcut on attached picture.
Currently, I'm adding shortcuts with AddProgramFolder() InstallScript method.
As far as I understood, this place is not specific location of shortcut file, but a kind of shortcut property. (You can put or remove shortcut in here using pin/unpin item in shortcut right-click menu)
How to put shortcut to this place using InstallScript?
thank you in advance

I believe there's no official way to pin shortcuts to the Start menu; for some informal background, please see http://blogs.msdn.com/oldnewthing/archive/2003/09/03/54760.aspx.
