Correct me if I'm wrong
Would you be able to use 'SetShellVarContext all' for this?
The docs don't say if $STARTMENU is affected by SetShellVarContext, but I would imagine so considering that $SMPROGRAMS and $SMSTARTUP are both affected.
I guess you'd do the following (but I haven't tried this) :-
SetShellVarContext all
CreateShortCut $SMPROGRAMS/AppName/LinkName.lnk MyAppPath\App.Exe

Check this out!
It includes a check whether "All users" exist and asks for the folder to which the shortcuts need to be installed. Just take the one you like: the one of pjw62 (using ExDlg) or mine (using InstOpts). Read the thread for more info.
