 Dear datallah

 Sorry I'm a little confused.  In your message were you saying that my
 suggestion violates MS guidelines?  If so I was wondering if you could
 please show me the guidelines it violates?  I did a quick search around
 and found the following MS Vista start menu guidelines
 (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa511447.aspx):

   * Eliminate unnecessary folders by putting programs at the top level or
 in a single product folder. Generally, your program should have a single
 shortcut on the Start menu.

   * Create a product folder only if your product is a collection of
 individual programs (three or more), and users think of your product in
 terms of that collection.

 I had trouble finding the Win XP guidelines.

 Also in your post are you saying what I've suggested is pointless and
 annoying?  If so why is it pointless and annoying?  I realise it isn't a
 major issue but I thought it would be something that could be easily
 changed and would save a lot of users a lot of effort.

 Chat soon.

 Cheers,[[BR]]
 Scott.

 > (In [a05b585fcb02299b9c93f1dd006f4929e3bf9ef0]) Don't put the Pidgin
 startmenu entry in a subdirectory. This violates the MS guidelines and
 (more importantly) it is pointless and annoying. Fixes #1188
