XP Mode application not showing in 7 menu
I have just installed an old program in XP Mode that I can run once XP Mode virtual PC is started without any problems. The install put an icon in the Start menu of XP and on the virtual desktop.
I understood that I would be able to start the application from within 7 even if the virtual PC was not started. I thought there should be an icon in the 7 Start menu - All programs - Windows virtual PC - Windows XP Mode Applications that, once clicked, would start the virtual PC and the application if it wasn't running. There is no shortcut icon.
Is it possible to create one? I would copy an existing one and modify it but it is quit cryptic.
The shortcut to the only other application in XP mode (McAfee) is:-
%SystemRoot%\system32\rundll32.exe %SystemRoot%\system32\VMCPropertyHandler.dll,LaunchVMSal "Windows XP Mode" "||dc8d19a" "McAfee SecurityCenter"
It's the "||dc8d19a" bit that would need some translation.
Any ideas?
