Show Start Menu?

I'd like to have a button on my form that will show a
menu from the user's Programs tree (off the Start button).
I want it to be the same menu the user sees when they
traverse their own Programs menu. Also, I'd like to
know which item the user selects on that (or deeper)
menu.

Basically I have very deep menus off the Start button
and I am looking to provide a few buttons as shortcuts
to some of the deeper menus. When they hit the button,
I want the menu to show, and when they select an item I
want to grab the icon from that item to show it on the
button. (as a most recently used reminder)

Also, I noticed the browse for folders dialog only shows
folders under the user's own (private) 'Start Menu' folder,
and not any from the All Users folder. Is there a way to
show them all in the browse dialog?

(Using VS 2003 on W2K)

Any hints, links, or assistance would be appreciated....

Thanks!
LFS
