I change the guid (*.rar & *.rgu) and update the option.xml with the new guid and change the group to boggsie and checked to true.

At this point I didn't need PPCGeeks_OEM.RAR, so I removed it from my selections.txt.

Of course, theis seemed great at first, but each time PPCGeeks_OEM.RAR gets updated, I have to migrate updates.

I had also tried to manage start menu location via provxml ... I put all of the move, copy, delete file operations into _setup.xml and put that into a cab and ran it as part of sdconfig.txt customizations. The problem there is that the process is very fragile. If a shortcut isn't there or is not named exactly right, the entire cab fails to install.

Best regards,
