title: Programmatically access All Users Start Menu
body: <p>Does anyone know how to programmatically access the "All Users" Startup Menu?</p>
  
  <p>In XP, located here:</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And in Windows 7, located here:</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Specifically, I've got a Setup and Deployment project, and I'd like to put a shortcut to the application in the Startup menu for all users so that the application is start whenever anyone logs in.</p>
