ShortCut icon in the startup group for my application

J

I have been fighting with this shortcut in the startup group. Does anyone
have any examples of putting a shortcut in the startup group on a CE 4.1
device.

I have looked at the MSDN site and still can not get it working.

I am trying to get the *.inf file correct so it sends a shortcut to the
"\Windows\StartUp" directory with no luck on the CE 4.1 Operating System.

If you really mean 'StartUp' group then the Directory identifier is:
%CE4% which is \Windows\StartUp on the device.

If it is the 'Start Menu' then the Directory identifier is:
%CE17% which is \Windows\Start Menu on the device

Hope that helps.
