Somewhat recently (Pocket PC 2002 or Pocket PC 2003), the operating
system started limiting the number of shortcuts in the top level of
the Start menu. So any shortcuts added after the magic number were
shunted to the Programs sub menu. I know this issue has been discussed
a few times, so google will provide more info, but I can't think of a
good search string.

I haven't noticed this with my program, but I don't do proper installs
often. I have noticed it with one driver for some hardware I bought.
Definitely one of those problems that has no real functional
relevance, but sure makes users uncomfortable. So I better make sure
my program doesn't have the same problem (i.e., thanks for asking).
