Hi, I have an installer (NSIS) that creates shortcuts in start menu. When I remove the program uninstall removes the folder from: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ unfortunately the folder is still in start menu. Maybe it's just a matter of refreshing the start menu - but how to do it from NSI...
I'd like to write custom providers for start menu searching, but I can't seem to find where to begin. Things I'd like to be able to do when I type in the search box on the start menu Type "thomas" and see "IM Thomas" (if a Pidgin/whatever-IM-client-with-API contact exists with the name match) Type "=1+2*3" and see "7", or "=2 gallons ...
I want to make my own Start Menu replacement and I am trying to figure out what approach to use. There are a number of ways the Start Menu is activated: click on it, hit windows key, hit ctrl+esc keys or tab until it gets focus and hit the space or enter key.

I don't see the point, there are usually tons of folders here so it is hard to find internet shortcuts, and why would I want to open a program from IE? I don't like to IE but Firefox usually freezes up on Win7 after 15 minutes...so I am using IE8 mo...
Hello Stackoverflow community, Does anyone know if there is an option to not create a shortcut to an AIR application after its installation? Currently, all I have found is an option to choose the location of the application shortcut from within the start menu (in the application descriptor file, using the programMenuFolder option) Tha...
Hi guys, I'm developing an Windows Mobile 6.5 start menu replacement called JWMD Stuick. Currently, I'm able to detect if the Start Menu is created or destroyed by checking GetWindowLong() API.. Though this does not guarantee if Start Menu is visible or not because other cooked ROM was even if the Start Menu is closed or an app was ex...
