How to Shell.CreateShortcut on start menu?

I understand that this is not possible? with AMS8.5.

Maybe you should read some documentation, it is very well possible within the powers of AMS... I just think admin privileges are required to be able to do this

local dir = Shell.GetFolder(SHF_STARTMENUPROGRAMS);
if(dir ~= "")then
	local target = dir.."\\".."MyProgramName\\";
	if(not Folder.DoesExist(target))then
		Folder.Create(target);
	end
	
	Shell.CreateShortcut(target, "Start MyProgram", _SourceFolder.."\\autorun.exe");
end

He asked specifically for the start menu, Windows 8 does not have a start menu, but simply that weird block interface Also, when IMXLH installs on Windows 8, the shortcut is properly added and visible in the metro interface.

Ya I don't understand Windows 8's shortcut stuff lol the start menu folders and stuff are still in place and same with the reg so I not sure if the overlay piggy backs off that or not
