title: How can I programmatically pin an application on a StartMenu in Windows 7
body: <p>I am doing a major upgrade, therefore, if the user has pinned the application on the StartMenu before the upgrade, the user will lose it after the upgrade.</p>
  
  <p>So I have created a custom action in the installer to programmatically create a shortcut to the application in the Start Menu folder. However, that change does not seem to be reflected on the actual StartMenu. Does anyone have any idea what the problem is? Is this only a one way notification (i.e. from the StartMenu to the folder, but not vice versa?)</p>
  
  <p>Many thanks. </p>
