I'm a bit of a clean freak when it comes to my start menu so I organise all of my shortcuts into categories.
The problem begins when I manually move a shortcut after the program has been installed. Since not all programs give you the option to specify a start menu location, this can often cause issues when un-installing or upgrading the program in the future.
Now some programs keep their shortcut locations in the registry, so usually after install I manually find this and modify the registry to point to the new locations. Thus fixing the issues when un-installing or upgrading. However this does not work for all programs
A perfect Example of this is iTunes, iTunes will not let you specify a custom shortcut location in the start menu. So when you manually move the shortcut it creates problems. iTunes updates often so when you do install an update it will create a new shortcut in the default location.
You then need to reorganise those shortcuts, again.
Does anyone know of a program that will enable to you to customise your start menu, and then make the new shortcut location the default for the each program?
Or is this something we have to deal with and manually change ourselves all the time?
This is something I've dealt with for years and I'm tired of it. Is there a better way?
