  I am sorry, i didnt realize that your topic has been answered. I have made another post to ask the experts. Thanks for your attention anyway. By the way, MRU is the most recent used start menu. When you click to a shortcut from the start menu, that shortcut will be displayed on top of the MRU startmenu, its position varies depending on your pocket pc themes settings. In my pocket PC, i believe it is default setting, it locates in the middle block of your startmenu . So if I click on startmenu, the 5 items below the first horizontal line are in the MRU list, if you click on one icon, it will jump to the top of the list. If you click on another shortcut from the program menu, it will be added to the top of the list, and the bottom shortcut will be deleted. Hope this is useful to you.

  Thanks...thsi is what i wanted
  
  To get a shortcut:
  
  1. In the left pane of the install UI in VS right click and add a special folder to Start Menu (if it isn't already there).
  2. Right click on the folder and pick Add Shortcut
  3. Point the shortcut to the project output from your main project (this way if you ever change your .exe name it will automatically update the cab)
  4. You can also right click on the shortcut and rename it to something useful for your user

  You do it in your CAB file. There are a ton of posts on how to do this. You can also click and hold the exe you want to copy, select copy for the popup menu, navigate to \Windows\Start Menu and click and hold on the whitespace. "Paste shortcut" is one of the options

  Hi,
  
  I managed to add the shortcut to the Start Menu folder. I also added a customized image icon to the program executable and its shortcut. The image icon is displayed properly in the executable and the shortcut in the Start Menu folder, however, when the shortcut is displayed in the MRU start menu, the icon is displayed with the default icon, my customized icon is not displayed. I use 32x32 pixel icon. Do you know how I can make the icon displayed on the MRU menu Do i need to copy the icon file to any special folder
  
  Thanks,
  Ares
