Start folder for shortcuts

I typically specify the start in folder for shortcuts to reference the "My Documents" folder in Advanced Installer. Our software is installed for all users on the machine and if Alice installs the software but Bob launches the software, the shortcut properties list the software to start in Alice's "My Documents" folder. What I would like is to create the shortcut so that the start in folder is defined by CSIDL_DEFAULT_MYDOCUMENTS. That is, I want to start the program in the "My Documents" folder for the current user context. Is this possible?

Thank you in advance.

Re: Start folder for shortcuts

At the risk of answering my own question, the thread linked below answers my question: basically, it is not possible.
