The purpose of this shim is to redirect all the shortcuts created by a set up according to the place where they are created. This is to take care of problems where a setup which runs elevated under Toby account in Vista places all the shortcuts with regards to the elevated users context. Here is what we do: For Start Menu: In case of Start Menu shortcuts, we create shortcuts and put it in shortcut of for all users (\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu) For Desktop or Quick Launch: We find what all users are there in the box and place shortcut in each individual users desktop or quick launch.
