Disable creating Start menu items every time

[butlnor]

WACUP frequently (daily?) creates a Start menu folder in Windows. I don't like that, and I have to manually delete that stupid folder every day. How can I prevent that?

I am NOT using the default start menu, but "Classic Shell", because I want to have a control over the items in start menu, and I like it clean. I already have WACUP pinned to taskbar, so I don't need and don't like a start menu item as well.

It's because that's what I've got to do to allow the OS toast support to be able to show the yes/no buttons for installing new wacup builds or to apply any post-release updates for the existing install. As the OS toast api requires a shortcut in the start menu to exist so if there's no indication of the normal wacup start menu folder group it'll attempt to make one in the root of the start menu (which I know sucks but it was the safest approach to go for when I was debugging the button failures).

I don't know if the alternate shell that you're using support's not showing shortcuts that have been given the hidden file property. As Win10's start menu handling appears to do support that from a quick test which is the only obvious workaround I can think off that doesn't then break the reason behind having to create it when I really would prefer to not do it anyway.
