How do you create program groups (folders) with Icons

How do you create program groups (folders) with Icons using delphi. I have successfully
created a nice program and now want to be able to create an installation program that
creates a program group ("folder" for you Windows 95 people) with the Icon of my program
(or "shortcut" for you Windows 95 people again)? So If you have sample code or ANY idea
how this is accomplished please post or E-mail to softs...@enterprise.ca

Thanks in advance.

You have to start a DDE conversation with the program manager. In BP the help
topic "Shell Dynamic-Data Exchange Interface Overview" should get you on the
way (I don't know if this topic is covered in Delphi help).
Also (BP) an example program is included which is called "progtalk.pas".
If such an example isn't included with Delphi try to locate it at Borlands
web-site. Otherwise send me an e-mail and I will send it to you.

Hope this helps,
