how to add conditions to desktop shortcuts and program menus in setup projects?

Hello,

Does anyone know if there is any way to add a condition
to your setup project so that the user can choose if they
want a desktop shortcut or a program menu by selecting a
checkbox. I know that you can use conditions on files,
but I can't get it to work with shortcuts. I tried to
apply the condition to the folders instead of the
shortcuts themselves, but the setup program doesn't seem
to care. It just ignores if the checkboxes are checked or
unchecked. Is there another way to do this? I don't want
to force desktop shortcuts or program menu groups upon
the user.

Thanks,
Blake
