    How can I use MMF2 to create a Start menu shortcut

    Hey, folks!

    How can I use MMF2 to create a Start menu shortcut for my application? I tried using the File-Folder object, but it didn't seem to work.

    Is there any other way to create a Windows short-cut to the Start menu using MMF2?

    Thank you!



    Most graciously...

    It's better to use the Kernel object.
    But it's only in Developer edition.

    Assuming you have it, you can use this object to write some key values in the registry.

    OR, more easily, just create folders (with the extension File) in: the folder of "Document and Settings\<username>\AppData\RoAming\Microsoft\Wind ows\Start Menu\"

    Use one of the expression of file object for getting the "expression_value" of AppData folder of the current User (user who ran your application).

    The Kernel object is not capable of this. Only the File-Folder object can do this.
    Working as fast as I can on Fusion 3
