Creating Start Menu SubFolder on Storage Card

Is it possible to have a Start Menu folder structure located on the Storage Card, with all the shortcuts to my programs (that are installed on the Storage Card), and then link that to the \Windows\Start Menu folder structure.
So that when I upgrade my ROM's or hard reset, I don't have to recreate all my shortcuts on the Start Menu.
At the moment I have a "\Storage Card\Start Menu" folder, with a bunch of shortcuts in it.
I've created a Shortcut called "My Start Menu" in "\Windows\Start Menu" pointing at my storage card folder.
So it kind of works, but when I click on that it exits the Start Menu and opens the folder. So none of the programs that I run are 'remembered' on the start menu.
Or is there another program that will do this for me.

Not sure if you can do that. However I too have installed most of my programs in the storage card. When I need to reload after a Hard reset or flashing I just copy the shortcuts of the programmes loaded in the storage card (from the storage card/program file folder) and past them on the todayscreen using spb plus today plugin. This works for most, but not all software.

is there any way of adding it to this so i can set it a icon the shorcut page
thanks for any help

Easiest way is to install Total Commander (file explorer program, google it) which has a create shortcut option. Then save the shortcut under Windows/Start Menu/Programs

you can do it using the normal file explorer, just copy what u want to link to and then go to the directory mentioned and choose paste shortcut

i want tothe icon to appear in the programs when i click add to add a shortcut tab in windows so where do i need to copy the file to?

i got to the exe and copied it to to windows/ start menu and it appears there and allows me to add it as a shortcut but when i try to run it it s not enough memery on the device, yet when i run it on the device from ist normally location it runs no problem
any advice would be great
thanks

I think you need to paste a shortcut rather than the exe itself

instead of choosing paste choose the option below called paste shortcut

your right the shortcut worked a treat thanks

Adding programs installed on storage card to touchflo 3d programs?

Hi guys...
I have several programs installed onto my 8gb storage card..like Tomtom and Need 4 Speed...however they do NOT show up in the Programs menu or even in the all programs menu...
The only way i can launch the apps is by going to file explorer, navigating to them and then executing the files...
is there an easier way to creat a shortcut or something? So that they show up in the programs list in touch flo???

adding shortcut from sd card

Hello, i have an executable on my SD card and i would like to add it to my programs list in the touchflo3d menu or to my start menu but im not sure how to shortcut it to there?
Thanks

go to "settings, all settings, personal, menus" and see if you see it listed...This will put it in the start menu...Tj

its not listed in menu's. Its just an executable on my SD card, not sure how to find something on there and make the shortcut for it, if its not in the menus list

I answered over at the Tmonews forums, but here you go:
Find program on SD Card, highlight it, Menu>Edit>Copy & then go to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs & Menu>Edit>Paste Shortcut
then rename the shortcut so it doesn't say "Shortcut to program on SD card"
I had to do that for Pandora since it didn't create a shortcut for me
