[Icon-tech] Merry Christmas from the Cribbage Santa

[Nick Gawronski]

Hi, What is the easiest way to put this file in the start menu folder?  I 
would like to have this feature added to developer in a future release as it 
would save all of us from lots of reboots that are not really needed or very 
productive.

the dirty file does not stay around it is the best and only way.  You see 
what happens is you put the dirty file there and if it's there the Icon/BP 
rebuilds the startmenu and deletes it.

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?
