2005-03-12 Thread Scott Ritchie
One of the most commonly requested features for Wine is for Wine to be aware of applications that put themselves into the Windows Start menu. We've talked about it on the Wine lists before, but there have been some difficulties. The first is that we don't yet understand how to read Windows shortc

Codeweavers has done a lot of work with shortcuts & menuitems, to make them work with different distros... so they might know what some of the nitty-gritty details are (Unfortunately, I do not). Do you know if it is possible to recycle code from them? Since there product seems to be commercial.

Hi all, As some of you might know I am working on a Wine Start menu, for Linux. I have heard different things on this list about the way Windows treats the start menu. Some told me that it would be better to make a Windows (wine) client that reads the actual start menu by querying a Wine dll
