Allows you to specify the Start menu groups and group items that should be created on the user's computer during installation of your solution. You can create groups and items for your solution in one of two locations: on the main level of the Start menu, or within the Programs subdirectory of the Start menu.
In addition to creating new Start menu groups and items, you can edit the properties for an existing item, or you can remove groups and items.
For more information about packaging and deploying your applications, see Solution Distribution.
Start Menu Tree
By default, the Start menu treeview shows two directories: the Start Menu directory, and the Programs subdirectory. Use the buttons to add groups and/or items to either of these two levels. If you add a group or item to the Start Menu directory, it will appear on the main menu that appears when you press Start in Windows. If you add a group or item to the Programs subdirectory, it will appear when you press Start and then move the mouse to the Programs group.
New Group
Adds a new group to the Start menu tree at the indicated location. Select either the Start Menu folder or the Programs folder, and then click this button. A new group appears in the tree, and you can type a new name for it.
New Item
Displays the New Item dialog box, in which you can add a shortcut to the selected group. The item should, in most cases, correspond to an executable or help file for your solution.
Properties
Displays the Properties dialog box where you can edit the current information for the selected group or item.
Remove
Deletes the selected group or item.
