How to change user shortcut in setup project.

CR
I want to change the target in the shortcut in the User's Programs
Menu in the setup project. I want the shortcut to point to an exe on
our local network. I've been doing this in VB6 and it works very well.
I don't have to reinstall all the client PCs every time I make a
change to my program. I just copy the new .exe up to the network.

Anyway how to I change where the shortcut in the Start-Programs menu
points to in the setup project?

Thanks!

Chuck.
