[Icon-tech] Merry Christmas from the Cribbage Santa

[Nick Gawronski]

Hi, Perhaps the start menu stuff could be made automatic in a future release 
for both installations and removals.  It would be nice if you did not need 
to put that file just had some type of function that did it for you so a lot 
of empty files are not always around doing nothing.  What is the best way 
currently to rebuild the start menu?
