    Resolved [RESOLVED] Placing Icon in All Users Desktop

    I'm stuck using the installer that comes in VS 2005 (Pro). I want to place the desktop ion and the program in the startmenu for All Users not just the user that installs the application. Is there a way to do that? I have tried adding All Users Desktop as a folder but that did not work.

    I was going to suggest the All Users Desktop folder in the Setup project but seems youhave tried that but did you install under an account that has Administrator perms? It takes an Admin to access the All Users Desktop folder.
