creating a shortcut in the All Users Start menu

    I would like to put a shortcut into the All Users Start menu (if I may use
    this term). I found the menu at c:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start
    Menu. By getting to this area via Windows Explorer, and by right clicking
    in the folder and choosing New, all I seem to be able to create is an empty
    folder.

    How can I create a short cut here?

    Thanks,
    ~alan

    Right drag the item to which you want to create the shortcut to
    c:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu. Release the mouse button and
    select Create Shortcut Here.

    Correction - That should be
    C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

    Also, you can either right drag or Right click there and do New / Shortcut.
