    <p>This is happening with my applications that I create using VS2008 and the built in deployment project to create MSI installers. It goes like this:</p> <ol> <li>Install the application, which creates a shortcut on the desktop and a start menu folder containing a shortcut to the application. Pretty normal stuff...</li> <li>Rename the start menu folder (usually done by a user that wants to reorganize his/her start menu).</li> <li>Start the application. When the application starts up, a small dialog opens saying something to the effect of "configuring application...". During this process the original start menu folder is recreated (and the renamed one remains). Pretty annoying stuff...</li> </ol> <p>Also of note, a deleted desktop shortcut does not get recreated (on application start-up) unless the start menu folder is also renamed (and recreated).</p> <p>I did not see this same behavior back when I was using VS2005.</p> <p>Much googling on this subject hasn't been very helpful so far. What am I missing here?</p> <p>At this point, I'm planning on moving to <a href="http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page" rel="nofollow noreferrer">NSIS</a> as my installer tech of choice.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
