Start menu order
I'm looking for a way to establish the sort order of the items added to start menu.
I read it can be set in registry key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MenuOrder\Start Menu" but I can't figure which values I have to set there.

Any ideas?

Alessandro.

Thanks Yathosho, but I already know how to do it manually.
I'd like the installer automatically set the order of the menu of the item when it adds them.

not sure how to do that, but i think shell32.dll does that. using filemon while doing a manual sort might give a hint in the right direction.

Any advice on this topic?

Let the user sort it. I think this is one of those "let the user do it" things, like quick launch and pinned programs in XP.
