I have a set-up and install package with the Access 2003 Developer Extensions
Packaging Wizard. My application installs quite well along with all
associated files.

HOWEVER . . . .

In Windows XP it creates a shortcut on the desktop and displays an entry
under Programs under "Start." This is nice. Unfortumately when I do the
same in Windows Vista, there is no shortcut and the Application title does
not show up under "Programs."

Any thoughts?

Microsoft: What gives???

Hmm, on Windows XP does it create the shortcuts in the users Desktop
folder or the AllUsers desktop folder? C:\Documents and
Settings\<user name>\Desktop. Same with C:\Documents and
Settings\<user name>\Start Menu\Programs, I can't recall now.

Do those same shortcuts exist anywhere in the, I think it's C:\Users
hierarchy in Vista?
