Delphi 12 start menu entry

[dummzeuch 1506]

Delphi 12 creates an entry in the (Open Shell) start menu directly under programs.

 

I don't want that entry that so I deleted it.

But every time I start the Delphi 12 IDE that entry is added again.

This is really annoying. Is there a setting somewhere that controls this?

What about writing a bds.exe which starts Delphi's (now renamed) bds.exe but deletes the shortcut once it's closing? 😄

Yes, I find it annoying and unnecessary.    I have not found a setting to stop it.  But this will hide it from showing in the Start menu.   In a DOS box, set the Delphi 12.lnk file to hidden.
