Clickonce - Pin shortcut to Start Menu?

Lets call the program ShowCustomer.
At the moment, the shortcut to my program will appear as Start/All
Programs/CompanyTools/ShowCustomer

I'd like to also pin the shortcut to the Start Menu. Is there a way of doing
that via Clickonce?
If thats not an option, is there code to do it? So I could run the pin code
when the program is run.

Thanks

No, you can't do that via ClickOnce. About the only way you could do it is
if you could figure out where the shortcut file is that was added by
ClickOnce, and you copy it to the Start Menu.

If you set up your own shortcut to the (obfuscatedly located) exe file, it
will no longer act as a ClickOnce application and do updates, etc.
