How do I create a Start Menu folder with InnoSetup?

1. You're basically on the right track. A "folder in the start menu" is indeed a "start menu group", with the InnoSetup variable "{group}".

2. Please bear in mind that Windows has two different start menus:

   {userstartmenu} & {commonstartmenu}

3. Here are a couple of good links (besides, of course, the actual InnoSetup documentation):

PS: Vista and Windows 7 organize shell settings and user preferences completely differently from Windows XP. For example, "SendTo" and "Startup Folder" are now located way under

c:\users\SOMEUSER\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs.  

Apparently Windows 7 will just not show start folders after you get so many in your "all users" directory. I went to "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs" and deleted a few links for software I didn't use often and viola - my missing start group appeared.
