Flaminio:

   In start menu edit properties of short-cut menu to pass a parameter

   when it starts your program. Example c:\startup\myprogram.exe startmenu

   When your program is started use the command_line function to check

   command line arguments and see if the command line has the word

   "startmenu" in the command_menu. If you don't find the word then

   the program was not started by from the start menu.

   If you do not want the user to have to edit the short-cut; then you can

   just make a batch file contaning c:\startup\myprogram.exe startmenu

   in it. Then the user can just copy the batch file into the startup

   directory.

   I hope this helps you.
   Have a happy new year !
