MOD2000: You Cannot Change Default "Start In" Setting for Shortcuts (236534)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Office 2000 Developer
This article was previously published under Q236534 Moderate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.
SYMPTOMS
No matter what you specify for the Start In property in the Package and Deployment Wizard, the Start In property of a non-Access shortcut is always set to the folder location of the target file. Also, the Start In property of any shortcuts to Access databases always defaults to the folder where Msaccess.exe is located.
CAUSE
In the Package and Deployment Wizard, the page named Start Menu Items allows you to add and make changes to shortcuts that are installed by the package. However, the option for Start In is ignored. For non-Access shortcuts, it is always the folder location of the target file. For Access solutions, it is set to the folder where Msaccess.exe is located.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
