Shortcut display path

Hi AI gurus,

We are on windows. Currently we are installing a shortcut on the start menu. The user gets to the shortcut by going through Start, All Programs, ProductName, Shortcut name. We like the path to the shortcut to be, Start, All Programs, CompanyName, Shortcut name. Is there a way to use CompanyName instead of ProductName in the display path to the shortcut? I have looked in the shortcut properties dialog and in the aip file. I don’t see anything.

Thanks
Bob

Re: Shortcut display path

Hello,

On the "Install Parameters" page, the "Application Shortcut Folder" is responsible for holding the path to which your start menu shortcuts are installed. To achieve what you want, you can replace the contents of this field with:

Code: Select all

[ProgramMenuFolder][Manufacturer]

I should never overlook the obvious.
