Apparently each item in the menu strip has to have the correct Entry Point Id for that program but the same AppId as the first entry. It doesn't make much sense to me but that's the way it works.

I've started from scratch again in the registry. I even exported the keys etc. from the 7022 pc onto this one, just to ensure i haven't mis-typed..still nothing. the other build was 7022 and that worked (no problem whatsoever). 7077 was a fresh install on a 2nd pc and just isn’t doing it.

You said you got it to work correctly on another machine, was that one build 7077 as well or another build? That is quite strange.

It's almost as if the Start Menu entry is ignoring my category completely. If i create two start menu apps, then they will both appear in their own seperate strips (1 in each)..that's the only way that so far i can get both on the screen...unless of course i go via the Extra's menu.all very odd. yeah…i checked (double and triple checked!).
