Brief summary of issue / Description of requested feature:

Was there actually any reason to add a Mudlet folder in Windows start menu?

Steps to reproduce the issue / Reasons for adding feature:

Image is older, folder is currently actually named "Mudlet makers" (which I wanted to adjust originally)
Does not show Mudlet PTB as well, which would reside right below the Mudlet application.
But you can see how Mudlet uses a sub-folder, while few of the other applications do:

Error output / Expected result of feature

Both Mudlet and Mudlet PTB should reside at start menu top level.
Therefore, players have no extra clicks to interact with sub-folders.

Extra information, such as Mudlet version, operating system and ideas for how to solve / implement:

Need to investigate, if this was done deliberately, or oversight / missing configuration somewhere.

Not possible to do - spent a lot of time looking at it. It's how the Squirrel installer is done.

You wouldn't believe the amount of research I had to do, down to Squirrel's source code, just to call it "Mudlet PTB" in that folder... and it's all hardcoded to use a folder.

Fair enough. Then it's a rare use of the "won't fix" label here.
At least as long as we continue with Squirrel. Not tackling that.

Thanks for linking! I guess this was part of your research back then and didn't seem like a feasible solution for us?

Indeed. One thing I don't want to fork is Squirrel - an unmaintained C# application.
