How do I add my program to the users start menu with VS2010 Setup Project?
I don't see an obvious place to do this.
What would be even better than this is a link to a reference that holds my hand through setting up projects so I can see how it is supposed to be done.
Thanks!

From Visual Studio, choose Extensions > Manage Extensions, and search for "Visual Studio Installer Projects". Or, download the extension directly from the Marketplace. From the Start window, choose Create a new project, and then type "setup" in the search box. Choose a Setup project, and follow instructions.
Go to Extensions > Manage Extensions > Online > Search, find, download and install Microsoft Visual Studio Installer Projects extension. 2). Add a new Setup Project in your solution > right-click Application Folder > Add > Project Output… > choose the corresponding Project > select Primary output > OK.
In Visual Studio, select the Extensions > Manage Extensions menu item. In the Manage Extensions dialog, expand Online > Visual Studio Marketplace > Tools and select Setup & Deployment.
Application Folder, look on the right hand side it should say, Primary output from X (make sure you don't have other widgets covering up this real estate.)User's Program's Menu ==> create the folder that you want your shortcut to reside in, probably your company name
