Of those of you who document Windows-based software,
does your installation process put a shortcut to the
documentation (either on-line help or .pdfs) on the
Start menu or an application-specific sub-menu from
Start?
I always appreciate it when I see that, but the co. I
work for adheres to Microsoft standards (mostly)
(well, more or less <g>), and MS apparently is
specifically recommending *against* it, although no
one here is quite sure why.
input, advice, and general commentary is, as always,
appreciated.

of our free will, and that share of glory which falls to
our lot." N. Machievelli, "The Prince" ch.26
