INF File/Shortcut Problem

J

Jim Popowski

I am currently having the following issue related to the Shortcuts for my
Pocket PC application.

In my INF File, I have my shortcut set to be created at %CE17%, the start
menu.
The shortcut does get created, however if the start menu is full (already
has 7 items)it creates the shortcut at \Start Menu\Programs
This is fine, until the app needs to be re-installed with an upgrade.( Which
for us, is roughly every 3-4 months, depending on when a new feature is
added)
When it re-installs and the start menu is full, it creates another Shortcut
to the applicaition at \Start Menu\Programs.
I have tried adding 2 lines to the shortcuts, however that does not seem to
work either, unless I did somethng wrong when I tried it.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Jim
