Hi how do I create Folders and Shortcuts in the Start Menu?

The simplest way, is to use the regular file system location such as:

C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Start Menu

Now, I would also pull the following environment variables to help you determine the location regardless of operating system and user:

HOMEDRIVE, which for me is "C:"
HOMEPATH, which for me is "\Documents and Settings\Tom"
USERPROFILE, which for me is "C:\Documents and Settings\Tom"

So, you could either concatenate HOMEDRIVE+HOMEPATH+"\Start Menu", or USERPROFILE+"\Start Menu"
