Creating and making an shortcut appear on Start Menu

Question

I'm maintain an Pocket PC 2003/CF.NET application and would like to automagically create an shortcut on Start Menu on first run.

So far, so good. I created the LNK file and put it on Start Menu folder, but Windows only shows 7 app slots on it - I had to manually uncheck an app to make it appear on Start.

How to automate that?

Wow this takes me back

When you install using an inf file via cab install adding more than 7 shortcuts to the start menu they will end up in the \Start Menu\Programs.

I don't think you can automate removing items from someone's startmenu bar as this could be malicious.
