Excellent program. Does create shortcuts & almost anything else as previous viewer stated. However, this is through scripting, which means you must be careful not to make a mistake, especially if your package contains lots of files, or you may screw something up by leaving out some files, or not scripting things like they should be. Add GUI to Zip2Exe would be great. Has very nice & easy GUI, but ability to at least dump shortcuts to the start menu would be nice, as well as the copy & pasteable readme. Why not just create shortcuts to the program itself? Here is why! By enabling the ability to dump shorcuts on the start menu, for example, Games folder, & then Tetris, Marbles, etc etc. You could pre-created how-ever many shortcuts to your programs that you needed, use ms targets such as %programfiles%/Games/Tetris, for example, so that it would always find tetris, even if the drive letter changed. Sounds complicated, but isn't just had to explain a reason why that would be so nice. Great program, but really want GUI to at least have start menu shortcuts & readme ability. Thanks!
