Why are you changing the guid? You need to break some old habits.

If for some reason I decide to use PPCGeeks_OEM.rar, a duplicate guid has, in the past, caused problems. It may be that BuildOS can now handle a duplicate guid?

There really isn't a great way of handling this, but there are better ways. The best way would be to not have the start menu locations in the wrong place to start with...

Well, I don't know if right vs. wrong would characterize the feeling, but that could be seen as being arguementative. I mention it because virtually all of the OEMs are dropping the shortcuts into Start Menu\Programs which is, by all accounts, the correct/right location.
The only ways I can think to handle this is to:
a) edit the OEM
b) move the files via provxml
c) move the files manually with Total Commander, etc.
You mentioned better ways and I am completely open to alternate methods.
I wonder if you could create individual USER_OEMs for each of the application? Say, you create a USER_OEM to move the TV_Guide shortcut from Start Menu \ Programs into Start Menu \ Programs \Media ... if you select this USER_OEM, it then requires the PPCKitchen_OEM item TV Guide.
Eventually, you could create a StartMenuMove_OEM.RAR with OEMs that provide a single purpose ... to move or relocate shortcuts that are typically dropped into Start Menu \ Programs ... and if you select that particular OEM, it automatically requires the PPCKitchen_OEM program.
Of course, ideas are easy, even if they are crackpot ... the real key is having the knowledge, skill, ability and perseraverence to pull off creating such an OEM ... which I do not!
