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.

desired and undesired work better for you?

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.

ew, ew, and EW.

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.

d) create a package w/ desired initflashfile.txt that has original oem as a requirement

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.

Exactly.

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!

Sure you do. Super trivial. It's a little labor intensive, but you'd only have to do it once per oem/guid.
