Kevin, Just want to say thanks for the handy tool. One thing that would be nice to see is a backup/restore feature. The reason for this is recently another vendor’s installer for some reason wiped the entire env path and I had to basically readd each entry back which is why I used your tool to help speed up the process.

Thanks Kevin, I’ll give this a try. I didn’t find the forced start menu entry as aggravating as Aaron did, mainly because it happened quite rarely with the latest build (I still don’t understand why), but it would be great to have it let me keep my own start menu all the time. Thanks for fixing this.

Thank you thank you thank you! Great to see a developer so responsive, especially of a free piece of software. My computer is much happier. And I understand this was due to behavior of Visual Studio 2008, not something you built into the program, confirming my suspicion this sort of thing is down to Microsoft practices… Keep up the great work!

I just bumped the version to 2.0.2.1 to fix an annoyance where the RegExFolder in the Start Menu could not be moved or renamed without the application recreating the original Start Menu entry the next time it was started.

I just bumped the version to 2.0.2.3 to fix an annoyance where the RegExFolder in the Start Menu could not be moved or renamed without the application recreating the original Start Menu entry the next time it was started.

I totally understand where you coming from, though I’m a bit more apathetic about the situation (probably because I stopped using the Start Menu years ago in favor of keyboard launchers). Anyway, as I said in an earlier comment, this seems the be the bizarre default behavior of the installer package in Visual Studio 2008. I’m trying to figure out how to disable it.

Nice little program for its functionality, but I, like bodo, am having this weird issue where the program insists on (a) putting a shortcut on my desktop, and (2) recreating a program folder group in my start menu EACH time it starts.

It’s highly aggravating.

I like to organize my start menu myself by category (e.g. games, system tools, internet, email, etc) rather than by Vendor and Company (a strange commercial/corporate Microsoft practice in my eyes) but this program insists on trying to make me conform to the corporate Microsoft way of doing things, i.e. organizing all my programs by software vendor rather than by functional type. I have never understood why people put up with this corporate nonsense, and I am a bit appalled and perplexed that this otherwise nice program tries to bully me into doing this as well.

@Mark Try the latest version 2.0.2.0. I fixed one or two things that might prevent it from launching. However, it's been working fine for me on both XP and Windows 7 for some time now. If this new version still doesn't work, let me know.
