Thanks George,

That's what I was trying to ask just using the wrong words....

By "write the short cut" I assume you mean to do the same code as when you create a desktop shortcut... but put it in the start menu/programs/my new program directory.

Is there an easy way to find the Start Menu folder?

Thanks for the reply

>>Thanks for the reply... That was the thread that spawned my intrest in adding the menu item to the startup menu. That thread only addressed adding a desktop link...

>I'm not quite sure what you're asking. If you mean to place a short cut on the Start Menu, you simply need to retrieve the Start Menu folder and create the short cut there. However, to create a new item under Programs retrieve the Programs folder, add a sub-directory to it, and write the short cut there.
